Thermally activated resonant tunnelling in GaAs/AlGaAs triple barrier heterostructures
We report the observation of a thermally activated resonant tunnelling feature in the current– voltage characteristics (I(V)) of triple barrier resonant tunnelling structures (TBRTS) due to the alignment of the n = 1 confined states of the two quantum wells within the active region. With great renewed interest in tunnelling structures for high frequency (THz) operation, the understanding of dev...
متن کاملResonant Tunneling in Double Superlattice Barrier Heterostructures
We have invest igated resonant tunnel ing in double barr ier heterostructures in which the tunnel barr iers have been replaced by short period superlattices, and have shown for the first t ime quantum well confinement in a s ingle quantum well bounded by superlattices. These results also demonstrate the first u t i l iza t ion of shor t period b ina ry super la t t ices as effective t unne l ba...
متن کاملResonant tunneling in double-quantum-well triple-barrier heterostructures.
We present a low-temperature ~mK! magnetotransport study, using intense pulsed magnetic fields to 50 T, of two double GaAs quantum well, triple AlAs barrier resonant tunneling structures, which demonstrates the critical influence of the second quantum well on the tunneling behavior. We show that charge accumulation in the first well, and thus the overall tunneling characteristic, is controlled ...

متن کاملResonant tunneling of double-barrier quantum wells affected by interface roughness.
Resonant tunneling of double-barrier quantum wells (DBQW's) affected by interface roughness has been investigated. Our results show that interface roughness induces oscillation resonant structure around the principal resonant peak. EA'ects of interface roughness on the resonant bias voltage, peak-to-valley current ratio, and the width of the principal resonant peak are also investigated. Temper...
