Abstract
We report simple calculations (of the Kronig-Penney type) concerning the band structure and charge distribution of GaAs sawtooth-doping superlattices as a function of period and doping concentration. We have obtained, within the effective-mass approximation, analytic expressions for the subband energy levels and envelope wave functions of the system.Keywords
