Structural parameters and their effects on the electronic transport properties in aperiodic superlattice profile
چکیده انگلیسی


• We model superlattices with aperiodic structures.
• Short-range correlation in disorder allows having resonant tunneling.
• High voltage bias does not promote resonant tunneling.
• An aperiodic potential profile allows having a very fast tunneling.

The aperiodic GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs superlattices (SL) with trimer disorder have been studied in this paper. The transfer-matrix technique and the exact Airy function formalism have been used to determine the miniband structure, the transmission coefficient, the resonance energy and resonant tunneling time (RTT). Although the disorder localizes the states on average, our numerical calculations show that the localization length of the states becomes more extended when the disorder is correlated (trimer case). We have also found that the RTT is of the order of several femtoseconds.
