ABSTRACTIn this paper we have studied the Einstein relation for the diffusivity-mobility ratio in III-V superlattices with graded structures under magnetic quantization by formulating a new dispersion law. It is found, taking InAs/GaSb an example that the diffusivity mobility ratio increases in an oscillatory way with increasing carrier degeneracy as a consequence4SdH effect. The Einstein relation in IIIV superlattice is greater than that of the same for the constituent materials. Besides the theoretical results are in agreement with the suggested experimental method of determining the same ratio in degenerate materials having arbitrary dispersion laws.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we have studied the Einstein relation for the diffusivity-mobllity ratio (DMR) in small-gap superi at tices (SLS) with graded structures under magnetic quantization by formulating a new dispersion law. It is found, taking inAs/ GaSb SL as an example that the DMR increases in an oscillatory way with increasing carrier degeneracy due to SdH effect. The DMR in SL. is greater than that of the constituent materials. The theoretical results are in agreement with the suggested experimental method of determining the DMR in degenerate materials having arbitrary dispersion laws.
