Abstract

Negative photoconductivity (PC) was observed in Si ion-implanted GaAs:Cr below the fundamental band gap. The dependence of this effect on wavelength and intensity of illumination is reported. For photon energies slightly smaller than the optical energy gap the negative PC reverts into positive PC with increasing illumination intensity. Complementary investigations of PC in Si ion-implanted, undoped GaAs also are presented. The physical reasons for the negative PC are discussed.
