Photon-Assisted Transmission through a Double-Barrier Structure

Journal Article · · Applied Physics Letters
OSTI ID:759875

The authors study multi-photon-assisted transmission of electrons through single-step, single-barrier and double-barrier potential-energy structures as a function of the photon energy and the temperature. Sharp resonances in the spectra of the tunneling current through double-barrier structures are relevant to infra-red detectors.
