Outline of Final Research Achievements

C60 uniformly doped GaAs and C60 doped AlGaAs / GaAs layers are grown on GaAs substrates by a migration enhanced epitaxy method. In high resolution transmission electron microscopy images, no dislocation is confirmed in the C60 doped GaAs layers. The electrical properties of C60 doped GaAs p-i-n diodes are measured by capacitance-voltage methods, and the depletion layers are found to be formed between C60 doped GaAs and Si doped GaAs layers. This result suggests that the electron traps induced by C60 incorporation can capture electrons and act as negative space-charge (acceptor ions). For C60 doped AlGaAs / GaAs structures, the two dimensional electron gas is trapped by C60 electron traps even at low temperatures. The trapped electrons can be released by light irradiation, and high-mobility electrons appear at the AlGaAs / GaAs interface only under illumination.
