Abstract: | The energy spectra and dispersion relations of carriers in the presence of an electric field applied along the growth direction in ZnO/MgxZn1−xO multiple quantum wells (MQW) are calculated using the asymptotic transfer method (ATM) on the basis of the quasistationary state approximation. The energy spectra of the carriers induce some quasi-bound levels under electric fields. The dispersion relations for the energy of the ground state and lower excitation states still have parabolic shapes for both the electrons and the heavy holes in the presence of a moderate electric field. Our results also reveal that the number of energy levels increases with increasing number of ZnO quantum wells and that the energies increase with both increasing Mg composition x and electric field strength. |
