Abstract
Effects of the parameters characterizing the electron-transport properties in an In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As/In0.52Al0.48As double heterostructure are theoretically investigated using the Monte Carlo approach. The calculated results are compared with the previously measured electron velocity versus electric-field relationship for the investigated structure. It is found that the effects of the Γ-valley nonparabolicity factor and the intervalley energy separations in In0.53Ga0.47As are the most remarkable within the investigated parameters.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
