Electron Transport in Semiconductor Superlattices
In this paper, we rigorously derive a diffusion model for semiconductor superlattices, starting from a kinetic description of electron transport at the microscopic scale. Electron transport in the superlattice is modelled by a collisionless Boltzmann equation subject to a periodic array of localized scatters modeling the periodic heterogeneities of the material. The limit of a large number of p...
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 کاملQuasi-ballistic-electron transport in random superlattices.
We theoretically study electron transport in disordered, quantum-well based, semiconductor superlattices with structural short-range correlations. Our system consists of equal width square barriers and quantum wells with two different thicknesses. The two kinds of quantum wells are randomly distributed along the growth direction. Structural correlations are introduced by adding the constraint t...
متن کاملElectron transport in quantum wire superlattices
Electronic transport is theoretically investigated in laterally confined semiconductor superlattices using the formalism of nonequilibrium Green’s functions. Velocity-field characteristics are calculated for nanowire superlattices of varying diameters, from the quantum dot superlattice regime to the quantum well superlattice regime. Scattering processes due to electron-phonon couplings, phonon ...
متن کاملOscillations of the transport properties in Ni /Co superlattices
Although metallic multilayers have recently attracted much attention, especially since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in Fe /Cr multilayers [1], only a small number of true superlattice effects have been experimentally observed. These are the appearance of superlattice Bragg peaks in X-ray diffraction [2], the collective behavior of magnons in magnetic/non-magnetic superlattices [3], ...
