Аннотация:Heterostructures of silicon dioxide films containing cobalt nanoparticles SiO2(Co) grown on GaAs substrate exhibit at room temperature high values of magnetic field enhancement of photocurrent in the vicinity and above the GaAs bandgap of similar to 1.4 eV. For photon energies E above the GaAs bandgap, the photocurrent significantly increases, while the avalanche process is suppressed by the magnetic field, and the current flowing through the heterostructure decreases. The photocurrent is enhanced in the SiO2(Co 60 at. %)/GaAs heterostructure at the magnetic field H = 1.65 kOe by a factor of about ten for the photon energy E = 1.5 eV. This phenomenon is explained by a model describing electronic transitions in magnetic fields with the spin-dependent recombination process at deep impurity centers in the GaAs interface region.
