Abstract:Electron mobility limited by surface roughness scattering in free-standing GaAs thin ribbon with an internal parabolic quantum well caused by surface state is investigated in detail. Based on analyzing the parabolic quantum well including the energy subband level, wave function and the confined potential profile in the thin ribbon by solving Schrödinger and Poisson equations self-consistently, the electron mobility could be investigated. Conclusion indicates that remote surface roughness (RSR) of the thin ribbon will change the two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) mobility through the medium of barrier height fluctuation of the parabolic well in atomic scale. Calculation results reveal that the 2DEG mobility decreases with increasing roughness amplitude, which is characterized in terms of the surface roughness height and the roughness lateral size.

ABSTRACTWe describe how general lattice images may be used to measure the variation of the potential in crystalline solids in any projection, with no knowledge of the imaging conditions. This approach is applicable to structurally perfect samples, in which interfacial topography, or changes in composition are of interest. We present the first atomic-level topographic map of a Si/SiO2 interface in plan-view, and the first microscopic compositional map of a Si/GeSi/Si quantum well in cross-section.

The ratio of the scattering and single-particle relaxation time of a quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (Q2DEG) in a finite lattice-mismatched GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum well was investigate at zero and finite temperatures, taking into account the exchange-correlation effects via a local-field correction with three approximations for the LFC, G = 0, GH, and GGA. We studied the dependence of the surface roughness, roughness-induced piezoelectric, remote and homogenous background charged impurity scattering on the carrier density and quantum well width. In the case of zero temperature and Hubbard local-field correction our results reduced to those of different theoretical calculations. At low density, the exchange-correlation effects depend strongly on the ratio τt/τs. While at high density many-body effects due to exchange and correlation considerably modified the ratio of the scattering and single-particle relaxation time. We found that, for densities and temperatures considered T = 0,3TF in this study, the temperature affected weakly on the time ratio for four scatterings. Furthermore, with the change of quantum well width, the effect of LFC and temperatures act on the ratio τt/τs are negligible for the roughness-induced piezoelectric and remote charged impurity scattering, and are notable for the surface roughness and homogenous background charged impurity scattering.
