Abstract
The scattering of electrons on charged impurity centers in a quantum film with the parabolic confining potential is investigated, taking into account the coordinate dependence of the electron effective mass in the film. The mobility is calculated for various distributions of impurity centers (homogeneous distribution in the film, barrier region, and the whole space). It is shown that the consideration of the coordinate dependence leads to the mobility decrease.
