In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

We show that excess noise in micron-sized samples fabricated from Si-doped GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wells and heterostructures is a strong non-monotonic function of temperature with several sharp peaks below room temperature. The noise power at the peaks exceeds the background noise by several orders of magnitude. The observed behaviour represents a classical noise source where only a single type of switching defect with a well-defined activation energy is present. We attribute the resonances to deep metastable donors and provisionally identify one of the donors as the known DX-centre in GaAs and GaAlAs.
