Abstract
The self-consistent electron field approximation is used to calculate the current-voltage characteristics and electron-transmission and tunneling-time spectra in GaAs/AlAs (001) semiconductor heterostructures within the three-valley effective-mass model and to study the effect of the composite band spectrum of GaAs and AlAs materials.
