Subband Structure and Optical Transitions in a Superlattice with Electron Quasi-Localised States in Unit Cell
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTWe studied theoretically the electron spectrum and infrared transitions in a superlattice with a unit cell allowing for quasi-localised carrier states. The dispersion relation and the band structure of such a system have been found. We also calculated the dipole matrix element for inter-subband carrier infrared transitions. The wave functions and the electron spectrum in this superlattice show a peculiarity when the energy of a band state approaches the energy of the quasi-localised state in the single cell. In particular, the absorption strength peaks up at the respective frequencies.
