title = "Impurity bound-to-unbound terahertz sensors based on beryllium and silicon δ -doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells",
abstract = "Beryllium and silicon δ -doped GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were designed and fabricated for selective sensing of terahertz radiation. Optical characterization of the structures by photoreflectance spectroscopy has indicated a presence of built-in electric fields-from 18 up to 49 kVcm depending on the structure design-located mainly in the cap and buffer layers, but do not penetrating into the MQWs region. Terahertz sensing under normal incidence via impurity bound-to-unbound transitions is demonstrated in photocurrent experiments within 0.6-4.2 THz in silicon-doped MQWs and 3.5-7.3 THz range in beryllium-doped MQWs at low temperatures.",
