摘要: Double-quantum-well field-effect transistors with a grating gate exhibit sharply resonant, voltage tuned terahertz photoconductivity. The resonance is determined by the plasma oscillations of composite structure. resonant photoconductivity requires double-quantum well but mechanism whereby produce changes in device conductance not understood. phenomenon potentially important for fast, tunable detectors.
