The Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations of the conductance at 4.2 K of a single quantum well sample having NSi = 3 x 1012 cm-2. The three curves correspond to the following three different cases. (black curve) Sample was kept in dark all the time. (blue curve) Sample was illuminated at 70 K until the decay of the photoconductance became insignificant, then quickly quenched to 4.2 K. (red curve) Sample was illuminated at 4.2 K until the decay of the photoconductance became insignificant. courtesy of Chih-Yung Chen |
