Electronic transport phenomena in molecular beam epitaxy grown sil­icon δ-doped AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells and GaAs layers were investi­gated. Observations of the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations allowed to deduce the redistribution of electrons among energy subbands formed by V-shaped and rectangular wells for GaAs layers and the AlGaAs/GaAs quantum wells, respectively. In both cases the effects of illumination upon individual sub-band mobilities and carrier concentrations were studied and the manifesta­tion of the DX centres was demonstrated.
