In this paper, we present an accurate model for scattering rates in a AlGaAs/GaAs single-well heterostructure, based on new extended relations for wave functions and subband levels. In this structure, the wave functions and energy levels of two dimensional electron gas are derived by a variational method. The effect of fourth subband level on the scattering rates and carrier velocity are evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation.
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.
