Effects of inelastic electron-phonon scattering on the resonant tunneling in double-barrier structure

摘要

[[abstract]]The Breit–Wigner formula is exploited to calculate the tunneling transmission probability affected by longitudinal optical phonon scattering in multiple quantum wells composed of Ga1−xAlxAs compounds. A quantitative result shows that the resonance electron energy and the integrated total transmission probability through the potential barriers are not changed, while the transmission peak is reduced and the linewidth is broadened.
