  12. True for all junctions: align Fermi energy levels: EF1 = EF2. This brings Evac along too since electron affinities can’t change VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

Characterization of an AlGaAs/GaAs asymmetric triangular quantum well grown by a digital alloy approximation. J. Appl. Phys. 75, 4551 (1994) An asymmetric triangular quantum well was grown by molecular‐beam epitaxy using a digital alloy composition grading method. A high‐resolution electron micrograph (HREM), a computational model, and room‐temperature photoluminescence were used to extract the spatial compositional dependence of the quantum well. The HREM micrograph intensity profile was used to determine the shape of the quantum well. A Fourier series method for solving the BenDaniel–Duke Hamiltonian [D. J. BenDaniel and C. B. Duke, Phys. Rev. 152, 683 (1966)] was then used to calculate the bound energy states within the envelope function scheme for the measured well shape. These calculations were compared to the E11h, E11l, and E22l transitions in the room‐temperature photoluminescence and provided a self‐consistent compositional profile for the quantum well. A comparison of energy levels with a linearly graded well is also presented VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

  47. Jin Xiao (金晓), Zhang Hong (张红), Zhou Rongxiu (周荣秀) and Jin Zhao (金钊). Interface roughness scattering in an AlGaAs/GaAs triangle quantum well and square quantum well. Journal of Semiconductors Volume 34 072004, 2013 We have theoretically studied the mobility limited by interface roughness scattering on two-dimensional electrons gas (2DEG) at a single heterointerface (triangle-shaped quantum well). Our results indicate that, like the interface roughness scattering in a square quantum well, the roughness scattering at the AlxGa1−xAs/GaAs heterointerface can be characterized by parameters of roughness height Δ and lateral Λ, and in addition by electric field F. A comparison of two mobilities limited by the interface roughness scattering between the present result and a square well in the same condition is given VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
