    Abstract: Picosecond response photoconductors and photoresponsive elements can be provided that retain high carrier mobility and yet have short lifetime by providing on a crystal mismatched substrate (1) a textured layer (2) of domain regions (3) wherein the domain size is such that the lifetime (t) is proportional to the square of the size (S²) divided by the diffusion coefficient (D) of the semiconductor (i.e. t ≈ S²/D) material. The crystalline orientation in the domains with respect to the substrate is maintained. An embodiment is an approximately 0.1 micron thick textured layer of GaAs (2) grown on a hexagonal monocrystalline Al₂O₃ substrate (1) having domains approximately 1.0 micron with a carrier lifetime about 5 picoseconds and a carrier mobility of about 80 cm² volt⁻¹ sec⁻¹.
