Аннотация:Anisotropy of the piezoresistance relaxations has been observed in p-(001)GaAs/Al0.5Ga0.5 As heterostructures. The character of relaxation process depends on the direction of the applied uniaxial compression: after loading along [1-10] direction the specimen resistance relaxes down to the lower magnitude while after loading along [110] direction it relaxes up to the higher magnitude. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and Hall effect measurements indicate that variation of the carrier concentration in the quantum well during relaxation processes has different signs for uniaxial compression along [1-10] and [110] directions and correlates with the corresponding change of the resistance. The piezoelectric field that in GaAs can reach the magnitude E =(1.152-2) MV/m at uniaxial stress P =1 kbar along <110> directions is supposed to be responsible for the metastable state after loading (unloading) and redistribution of carriers during the relaxation process.
