Real-space and energy representations for the interface roughness scattering in quantum-well structures

Journal Article · · Solid State Communications
OSTI ID:754330

The authors show that the real space representation of the interface-roughness as a fluctuating potential in the coordinate space is equivalent to the usual energy-fluctuation representation for intrasublevel scattering in a single quantum well with a generally shaped confinement-potential profile. The coordinate picture is, however, more general and can be used for higher-order effects and multi-sublevel scattering in coupled multi-quantum-well structures.
