Sequential resonant tunnelling through Landau levels in GaAs/AlAs superlattices

Electron transport in heavily-doped GaAs/AlAs superlattices in parallel electric and magnetic fields is reported. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristic exhibited the feature of negative differential velocity (NDV) and high electric field domain effect at different biases. Under strong magnetic fields, sequential resonant tunnelling through Landau levels in the negative differential velocity regime is observed, which are manifested as oscillations in the conductance-voltage characteristics.

WANNIER QUANTIZATION OF A SUPERLATTICE SUBBAND UNDER AN ELECTRIC-FIELD

Wavefunctions of electronic Wannier-Stark states in a superlattice are calculated with a finite Kronig-Penney model. Overlap integrals between electron and heavy-hole wavefunctions centred in the same well layer, and in first- and second-neighbour wells are calculated as functions of the applied field. The results show good agreement with experimental results on photoluminescence. The problem is also treated by a one-band approximation method, which gives a closed expression for the wavefunction of the Wannier-Stark states; this is compared with the results of accurate calculations with the Kronig-Penney model.

Electronic properties of GaAs/GayIn1-yNxAs1-y-xSby superlattices

Using Keating's semiempirical valence force field model and Monte Carlo simulation, we calculate the bond distributions and atom positions of GaAs/GaInNAsSb superlattices. The electronic structures of the superlattices are calculated using the folded spectrum method combined with an empirical pseudopotential proposed by Williamson The effects of N and Sb on superlattice energy levels are discussed. The deterioration of the optical properties induced by N is explained by the localization of the conduction-band states around the N atom. The electron and hole effective masses of the superlattices are calculated and compared with the effective masses of the GaAs and GaInAs.

Comparative Raman scattering studies of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs and AlxGa1-xAs/AlAs superlattices

The room-temperature Raman scattering studies of longitudinal optic phonons in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs and GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs short-period superlattices with different layer thicknesses were reported. The AlAs LO modes confined in AlAs layers and GaAs-like LO modes confined in AlxGa1-xAs layers were observed in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattices under off-resonance conditions. And the GaAs LO modes confined in GaAs layers and AlAs-like LO modes confined in AlxGa1-xAs layers were observed in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattices. In addition, the AlAs interface mode in AlAs/AlxGa1-xAs was also observed under near-resonance conditions. Based on the linear chain mode, the frequencies of confined LO modes measured by Raman scattering were unfolded according to q=m/(n+1)(2 pi/a(0)) by which the dispersion curves of AlAs-like and GaAs-like LO phonons in AlxGa1-xAs mixed crystal were obtained.

Anisotropic exchange splitting of excitons in (001)GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As superlattice studied by reflectance difference spectroscopy

Anisotropic exchange splitting (AES) is induced by the joint effects of the electron-hole exchange interaction and the symmetry reduction in quantum wells and quantum dots. A model has been developed to quantitatively obtain the electron-hole exchange energy and the hole-mixing energy of quantum wells and superlattices. In this model, the AES and the degree of polarization can both be obtained from the reflectance difference spectroscopy. Thus the electron-hole exchange energy and the hole-mixing energy can be completely separated and quantitatively deduced. By using this model, a (001)5 nm GaAs/7 nm Al0.3Ga0.7As superlattice sample subjected to [110] uniaxial strains has been investigated in detail. The n=1 heavy-hole (1H1E) exciton can be analyzed by this model. We find that the AES of quantum wells can be linearly tuned by the [110] uniaxial strains. The small uniaxial strains can only influence the hole-mixing interaction of quantum wells, but have almost no contribution to the electron-hole exchange interaction.
