This process has been used in a double QW photon-detector. Here, we present the observation of so-called negative photon-response in such detector. Its origin is clarified to be an electron mobility reduction phenomenon resulted from the photon induced charges.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-05-29T08:45:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mobility modulation effects", "double quantum", "infrared photon-detector", "electrons absorb photon energy", "electron mobility reduction phenomenon" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1105.5767K" } } }
