Abstract
The authors calculate electron-LO phonon intersubband scattering rates and intrasubband scattering rates in a 70 AA GaAs/Ga0.7Al0.3As quantum well considering the phonons to be described by the hydrodynamic model, the slab mode model and the bulk phonon approximation. These rates for the different phonon models are used in a Monte Carlo simulation of the electron drift velocity in the quantum well under the influence of an electric field.Keywords
