Abstract

We report on optically induced transport phenomena in freely suspended channels containing a two-dimensional electron gas. The submicron devices are fabricated in AlGaAsGaAs heterostructures by etching techniques. The photoresponse of the devices can be understood in terms of the combination of photogating and a photodoping effect. The hereby enhanced electronic conductance exhibits a time constant in the range of 1-10 ms.
