摘要: We report on the charge storage effect of InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in upper well AlGaAs/GaAs double structure. Zero field longitudinal resistivity and Hall resistance at weak magnetic fields exhibited a hysteresis during sweeping gate voltage due to accumulation charges dots. On reverse voltage, accumulated are prevented from being rapidly depleted screening two-dimensional electron gas, which could significantly enhance operation reliability QD-based non-volatile memory devices.
