Conductivity of nanoporous InP membranes investigated using terahertz spectroscopy

We report on extrinsic and photoexcited carrier behaviour in porous InP of various porosities and two orientations, studied using terahertz spectroscopy. We observed behaviour indicative of a surface electron depletion layer resulting from bandbending.
