Abstract

In this paper we present contact-free measurement techniques which are important for the evaluation of heterojunctions of interest for optical as well as high-speed devices. The techniques are the microwave-detection of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, photoluminescence-detected magneto-oscillations, and optically detected cyclotron resonance using microwaves (ODCR) as well as far-infrared lasers (FIR-ODCR). The techniques are illustrated by several examples, and the possibilities to determine 2D carrier concentrations, effective masses, and scattering times in the heterojunction structures are discussed.
