We calculate electron-LO phonon intersubband and intrasubband scattering rates in a 70A GaAs/Ga,,AI,.,As quantum well considering the phonons to be described by the hydrodynamic model, the slab mode model and the bulk phonon approximation. These rates for the different phonon models are used in a Monte Carlo simulation of the electron drift velocity in the quantum well under the influence of an electric field
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
