Scattering by polar optical phonons in nitride single heterostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
The scattering rates due to the interaction between conduction band electrons and polar optical phonons are calculated in a single heterostructure of the AlxGa1−xN prototype. Optical phonon modes are described via the dielectric continuum model for the case of the wurtzite crystal structure, taking into account both interface and half-space oscillations. Electronic states in the two-dimensional electron gas are studied with the use of a variational scheme that provides both the wavefunctions and the conduction band bending profile in the quantum well region.

The authors theoretically investigated the electron mobility in the nanometer thickness AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructures limited by the polar optical and confined acoustic phonons. The proposed model accurately takes into account dispersion of the optical and acoustic phonons in such heterostructures as well as inelasticity of the electron scattering on both optical and acoustic phonons. It has bee...

Surface phonon-polariton (SPhP) modes exist under optical excitation of polar materials, and are accessible using scattering type near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM). Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) can exhibit such modes under IR excitation, in spectral regions where the permittivity is negative. Herein we present pump-probe continuous wave (CW) sSNOM a nov...
متن کاملElectron–polar optical phonon scattering suppression and mobility enhancement in wurtzite heterostructures
We have shown theoretically that the electron mobility in wurtzite AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructures can be enhanced by compensating the built-in electric field with the externally applied perpendicular electric field and by introducing a shallow InxGa1-xN channel in the center of GaN potential well. It was found that twoto fivefold increase of the room temperature electron mobility can be achieved....
