ABSTRACTWe have studied the Einstein relation for the diffusivity. mobility ratio (7PT) on the basis of a newly derived electron energy spectrum in QW f tetragonal semiconductors, within the framework of K. P method by considering all types of anisotropies of the energy band parameters. It is found, taking n-Cd3 As2 as an example that the DUTZ increases with electron concentration and decreases with film thickness in an oscillatory manner respectively. The theoretical results are in good aoreement with the suggested experimental method of determining the DMR in degenerate semiconductors having arbitrary dispersion law.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we have studied the photoemission from quantum wells (QW), quantum wells wires (QWWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of quantum confined strained III–V compounds on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion law. It is found taking such quantum confined Hg1–xCdxTe and In1–xGaxAsyP1–y lattice matched InP as examples that the photoemission increases with increasing energy of the incident photons in a ladder like manner and also exhibits oscillatory dependences with changing electron concentration and film thickness respectively for all types quantum confinement. The photoemitted current is greatest in strained QDs and least in unstrained QWs. In addition the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental datas as given elsewhere.

ABSTRACTAn attempt is made to study the thermoelectric power in ultrathin films of semiconductors under magnetic quantization by including all types of aniso tropies in the energy spectrum within the domain of theory, and taking n-Cd3As2 as an example. It is found that, the magne to-thermopower decreases with increasing surface electron concentration and also changes in an oscillatory manner with film thickness respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTIn this paper, we have studied the photoemission from quantum wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of degenerate Kane-type semiconductors, on the basis of a newly derived electron dispersion law considering all types of anisotropies within the framework of k.p formalism. It is found, taking n-Cd3 As2 as an example, that the photoemission increases with increasing photon energy in a ladder-like manner and also exhibits oscillatory dependences with changing electron concentration and with film thickness, for all types of quantum confinement. The photoemission current density is greatest in QDs and least in QWWs. In addition, the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the thermoelectric power in quantum dots (QDs) of non-parabolic semiconductors in the presence of a classically large magnetic field and we have taken A3N B2V, ternary chalcopyrite, II-VI and III-V semiconductors. It is found that the thermopower increases with increasing film thickness and decreasing electron concentration respectively in all the cases. The numerical values are greatest for Cd3As2 and least for InAs and the theoretical results are in ageement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.

Abstractwells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWs) and quantum dots (QDs) of nonlinear optical materials, respectively on the basis of a newly derived electron dispersion law considering all types of anisotropies within the framework of k.p. formalism. It is found, taking CdGeAs2, GaAs and InAs, as exmaples, that the photoemission increase with increasing photon energy in a ladder like manner and also exhibits oscillatory dependences with changing electron concentration with film thickness respectively for all types of quantum confinement. The photoemission current density is greatest in QDs and least in QWWs. In addition, the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.

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 Burstein-Moss shift in quantum wires and dots of ternary and quaternary materials on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion law which occurs as a consequence of heavy doping. It is found taking Hg1−xCdxTe and In1−xGaxAsyP1−y lattice matched to InP as examples that the Burstein-Moss shift exhibits oscillatory dependences for quantum wires and dots of the said materials with respect to doping and film thickness respectively. Besides, the numerical values of the same shift is greatest in quantum dots and least in quantum wires. In addition, the theroretical analysis is in agreement with the experimental datas as given elsewhere.

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.
