Abstract: | Transport properties of the electrons itinerant two dimensionality in a square quantum well of In0.53Ga0.47As are studied in the framework of Fermi-Dirac statistics including the relevant scattering mechanisms. An iterative solution of the Boltzmann equation shows that the ohmic mobility is controlled by LO phonon scattering at room temperature, but below 130 K alloy scattering is predominant. The calculated mobilities with a suitable value of the alloy scattering potential agree with the experimental results over a range of lattice temperature. For lattice temperatures below 25 K where the carrier energy loss is governed by the deformation potential acoustic scattering, the warm electron coefficient is found to be negative. Its magnitude decreases with increasing lattice temperature and is greater for larger channel widths. Values of the small-signal AC mobility of hot electrons at a lattice temperature of 4.2 K are obtained for different sheet carrier densities and channel widths. Cut-off frequencies around 100 GHz are indicated.Dedicated to H.-J. Queisser on the occasion of his 60th birthday |
