A Ground Miniband Width of a Superlattice with Rectangular Quantum Wells versus Constructive Parameters

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

A convenient formula for the ground miniband width as a function of constructive parameters of the superlattice is derived from the solution of the Kronig–Penney equation using the perturbation theory. The conditions of applicability of this formula are verified for the GaAs/AlxGa1–x As superlattices used as infrared photodetectors.
