Popis: We report the far-infrared photoconductivity spectroscopy (FIRPCS) of the high purity n-GaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) technique. The current-voltage (I-V) measurement and FIRPCS under different electric field strength have been performed on high purity n-GaAs at 4.2 K. Except for photothermal ionization process, a new far-infrared photoconductivity (FIRPC) mechanism is observed. This photo ionization process is assisted by impact ionization and depends on external electric field. This new mechanism originates from photo-field ionization.
