ABSTRACTWe have performed Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) measurements on the AlxGa1-xSb/InAs QW's with x from 0.1 to 1.0 under the negative persistent photoconductivity (NPPC) conditions and confirmed the prediction of Ionized Deep Donor model that the NPPC effect is a universal property for the materials containing ionized deep donors at low temperatures. The time-dependent recombination (electron capture) of the ionized deep donors is similar to that of DX centers. The saturated reduction of carrier concentration in the InAs well increases with increasing x, and rises steeply at about x=0.4. The concentration of deep donors which cause the NPPC in the AlxGa1-xSb/InAs QW's increases with the Al composition.

ABSTRACTWe have measured the Shubnikov-de Haas effect and Quantum Hall effect on the AlxGa1−xSb/InAs quantum wells for the A1 composition (x) from 0.1 to 1.0 under the negative persistent photoconductivity (NPPC) conditions. It confirmed the prediction of ionized deep donor model that the NPPC effect is a general property for the materials containing ionized deep donors at low temperatures. The time-dependent recombination (electron capture) of the ionized deep donors has the similar property to that of DX centers. The saturated reduction of carrier concentration in the InAs well increases with increasing x, and rises steeply at about x=0.4. By comparing with the concentration of the DX center-like deep donor in the bulk AlxGa1−xSb, we believe that the ionized deep donors which cause the NPPC in the AlxGa1−xSb,/InAs QW's are the DX center-like deep donors in the AlxGa1−xSb layers.

ABSTRACTn-type PbTe(Ga) films were grown by the laser deposition and the hot wall techniques on BaF2 substrates in <111> orientation. Doping results in the appearance of a high-ohmic state with nearly intrinsic free carrier concentration at low temperatures and activation character of conductivity at T∼300 K. Persistent photoconductivity has been observed at T < 100 K. In the hot wall-grown layers a new effect of bistability during the cooling-heating-cooling cycles has been found. On the first stage of the cycle a rapid decrease of resistivity (∼3 orders of magnitude) is observed at To∼50 K. The value of To changes by ± 15 K depending on the cooling rate. After a brief heating up to 80 K the subsequent cooling results in the high-ohmic state of the layer at the low temperatures. This state seems to be unstable. Relaxation to the low ohmic state can be accelerated by the application of electric field. The effect may be understood in terms of bistability of the Ga impurity charge state under the action of strain between the film and the substrate during the cooling-down process.

We consider a single localized spin-1/2 placed between singlet superconducting leads of a Josephson junction inserted in a superconducting ring, subject to a dc magnetic field B || z. Turning on the tunneling or a time-dependent flux in a superconducting ring, induces oscillations of the Josephson current, with an amplitude sensitive to the initial value of the z-component of the spin, Sz = ±1/2, which allows for a measurement of the initial spin state. At low temperatures when effects of quasiparticles are negligible, this procedure realizes a quantum-non-demolition (QND) measurement of Sz.
