Miniband quantum transport in semiconductor nanodevices under broadband illumination
A general theoretical framework for the modelling of miniband transport in semiconductor nanostructures under broadband illumination is presented. Our approach is based on the multi-subband three-dimensional Boltzmann transport equation and allows to investigate both the steady-state and the time-dependent dynamics. The model has been succesfully applied to the problem of the design and optimiz...
متن کاملMiniband transport and oscillations in semiconductor superlattices
We present and analyse solutions of a recent derivation of a drift-diffusion model of miniband transport in strongly coupled superlattices. The model is obtained from a single-miniband Boltzmann–Poisson transport equation with a BGK (Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook) collision term by means of a consistent Chapman–Enskog expansion. The reduced drift-diffusion equation is solved numerically and travelling ...
متن کاملBroadband Emission in Quantum-Dash Semiconductor Laser
A new type of semiconductor laser is studied, in which injected carriers in the active region are quantum mechanically confined in localized finite self-assembled wire-like quantumdash (Qdash) structures that are varied in sizes and compositions. Effects of such carrier distribution and quasi three-dimensional density of states contribute to a quasisupercontinuum interband lasing characteristic...
متن کامل16.5 m quantum cascade detector using miniband transport
The authors report on an InP based photovoltaic quantum cascade detector operating at 16.5 m and using miniband-based vertical transport. This concept allowed the construction of a longitudinal optical phonon extraction stair with two rungs without touching on a high device resistance. At 10 K, they observed a responsivity of 1.72 mA/W and a Johnson noise limited detectivity of 2.2 109 Jones. A...
