Room-temperature large photoinduced magnetoresistance in semi-insulating gallium arsenide-based device

It is still a great challenge for semiconductor based-devices to obtain a large magnetoresistance (MR) effect under a low magnetic field at room temperature. In this paper, the photoinduced MR effects under different intensities of illumination at room temperature are investigated in a semi-insulating gallium arsenide (SI-GaAs)-based Ag/SI–GaAs/Ag device. The device is subjected to the irradiation of light which is supplied by light-emitting diode (LED) lamp beads with a wavelength in a range of about 395 nm–405 nm and the working power of each LED lamp bead is about 33 mW.

The photoinduced MR shows no saturation under magnetic fields (B) up to 1 T and the MR sensitivity S (S = MR/B) at low magnetic field (B = 0.001 T) can reach 15 T−1. It is found that the recombination of photoinduced electron and hole results in a positive photoinduced MR effect. This work implies that a high photoinduced S under a low magnetic field may be obtained in a non-magnetic semiconductor device with a very low intrinsic carrier concentration.
