Mobility Enhancement in Square Quantum Wells: Symmetric Modulation of the Envelop Wave Function

Abstract

We present a theoretical study of the effects from symmetric modulation of the envelop wave function on quantum transport in square quantum wells (QWs). Within the variational approach we obtain analytic expressions for the carrier distribution and their scattering in symmetric two-side doped square QWs. Roughness-induced scattering are found significantly weaker than those in the asymmetric one-side doped counterpart. Thus, we propose symmetric modulation of the wave function as an efficient method for enhancement of the roughness-limited QW mobility. Our theory is able to well reproduce the recent experimental data about low-temperature transport of electrons and holes in two-side doped square QWs, e.g., the mobility dependence on the channel width, which have not been explained so far.

On the Role of Magnetic Field Fluctuations in Diffusive Shock Acceleration

“…In this section, we apply theory [12][13][14] in order to understand the properties of low-temperature transport in remote doped square QWs. We next examine the above functional dependence of the enhancement factor Q for the normal case, where the two QW interfaces are described by the same roughness profile.…”

VLS Growth of Highly Oriented SnO2Nanorods and ZnO Hybrid Films for Gas Sensing Measurements

“…In absence of oxygen the nanorod is a fairly good conductor since each removed oxygen inject two electrons to surface which is depleted with oxygen, promoting the flow of electrons through the near surface conduction band. [7][8][9] In presence of oxygen the nanorods become insulators due to a physicochemical adsorption of carrier electrons by surface oxygen molecules. 1 By using undoped tin oxide nanorods as the sensitive layer for the gas sensor it is needed to heat up the sensor.…”
