A study of the transport of charge carriers in coupled quantum regions

Semiconductors Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Specific features of controlled relocation of charge carriers in nanostructures based on tunnelingcoupled quantum regions formed by GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunctions are considered. The results of numerical simulation of dynamics of controlled tunneling relocation of the maximum in the amplitudes of wave functions of charge carriers are discussed.
