Abstract

Persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect has been observed in p-type GaN epilayers grown both by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and reactive molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) as well as in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) system formed by an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure grown by MOCVD. Its properties have been investigated at different conditions.
