Transmission zero engineering in lateral double-barrier resonant tunneling devices
Transmission zero engineering in lateral double-barrier resonant tunneling devices is investigated. We show that, by inserting a resonant cavity in the quantum well region of a lateral double-barrier resonant tunneling structure and engineering the placement of transmission zero-pole pairs, the current peak-to-valley ratio of the device can be drastically improved at low temperature. An advanta...
متن کاملMesopiezoresistive effects in double-barrier resonant tunneling structures
This letter reports a mesopiezoresistive effect in a double-barrier resonant tunneling DBRT structure. In a DBRT system, an external mechanical stress causes a tensile strain, and the strain, in turn, affects the resonant tunneling and thereby the resistance. Theoretical analysis was carried out on an AlAs /GaAs /AlAs DBRT structure under in-plane uniaxial tensile stresses. The results show tha...
متن کاملCurrent fluctuations in double-barrier quantum well resonant tunneling diodes
The measurements of the spectral intensity of the current fluctuations in double-barrier quantum well resonant tunneling diodes as a function of temperature and bias current are reported. Two types of devices were studied: one with AlAs barriers and GaAs well and contact regions, and the other has Alo,,Gae,As barriers. The frequency range covered is 1 Hz-100 kHz and the temperature range is 78-...
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We have invest igated resonant tunnel ing in double barr ier heterostructures in which the tunnel barr iers have been replaced by short period superlattices, and have shown for the first t ime quantum well confinement in a s ingle quantum well bounded by superlattices.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 کاملQuantum noise in ac-driven resonant-tunneling double-barrier structures: Photon-assisted tunneling versus electron antibunching
We study the quantum noise of the electronic current in a double-barrier system with a single resonant level. In the framework of the Landauer formalism, we treat the double barrier as a quantum coherent scattering region that can exchange photons with a coupled electric field, e.g., a laser beam or a periodic ac bias voltage. As a consequence of the manifold parameters that are involved in thi...
