摘要
A new type of photoconductivity controlled by the wave function of the excited state is reported in suitably engineered asymmetric quantum well heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy. This phenomenon manifests itself in directional charge transfer against the applied electric field as electrons in the wells are photoexcited to resonances localized above the barriers.
