Transport in GaAs/AlAs/GaAs [111] Tunnel Junctions
Résumé
Resonant tunneling in single-barrier GaAs/AlAs/GaAs junctions grown in [111] direction was studied for samples with different concentration of silicon delta-doping in AlAs. In the I(V) characteristics, measured at 4 K, two kinds of peaks were observed: related to resonant tunneling via donors states in the barrier, and through X-minimum quantum well subbands. The results are compared to those previously obtained for analogous samples grown along [001] direction. The investigations reveal different symmetry of donor states in both cases.
