Impact ionization coefficients in strained inGaAs/lnAIAs multiquantum wells
We have measured electron and hole impact ionization coefficients in biaxially strained In,Gat -&JIn,,Alll -,,As (0.44 <x <0.62,0.44 <y < 0.62) multiquantum wells for the first time. It is seen that o/a is enhanced due to strain-induced changes in band gap, band offsets, and bandstructure for tensile strain in the well and compressive strain in the barrier. The results have been interpreted by ...
متن کاملIonization rate coefficients in warm dense plasmas.
We recast the atomic processes in a warm, dense plasma using Fermi-Dirac statistics and compare them to the rates of the usual Maxwell-Boltzmann approach of many collisional-radiative models. Population calculations show insignificant differences to calculations assuming nondegenerate free electrons of plasmas at solid density close to local thermodynamic equilibrium, but show departures in ave...
متن کاملImpact ionization coefficients for electrons and holes in strained In0.2Ga0.8As and In0.15Ga0.63Al0.22As channels embedded in Al0.3Ga0.7As
We have measured impact ionization coefficients, a and p, in 150 A pseudomorphically strained materials for the first time. The measurements were made on specially designed lateral p-i-n diodes. a and 0 in lattice-matched GaAs layers are found to be lower than those in strained Ino.zGacsAs and higher than those in strained Ina15Gac,,A10~,,As. fl is larger than a in all the samples. The results ...
متن کاملElectron and hole impact ionization coefficients in GaAs/A10,45Ga0,55As/ Al,,3GaOS7As coupled well systems
We have measured electron and hole multiplication factors and impact ionization coefficients in 550 A GaAs/SOO A AbX3G%,,As quantum wells with an intermediate A&,.45Ga0.55As barrier (50 and 100 %L) inserted in the well region. It is seen that while the measured value of a(E) is insensitive to the position of the intermediate barrier in the well, the value of P(E) is very sensitive. The value of...
متن کاملCalculation of electron and hole impact ionization coefficients in SiGe alloys
Silicon–germanium alloys offer a system where the ratio of the electron impact ionization coefficient ~a! and hole impact ionization coefficient ~b! varies from a value larger than unity ~in high silicon content alloys!, to a value smaller than unity ~in high germanium content alloys!. We report results for a and b for this alloy system. The electron results are based on a multivalley nonparabo...
