Monte Carlo simulation of quasi-one-dimensional semiconductors

Because of the particular confinement configuration of one-dimensional systems, the absence of angular randomization during scattering makes the carrier distribution sensitive to external perturbations and causes appreciable deviations from the equilibrium relatively rapidly. A Monte Carlo simulation is presented of a multisubband quasi-one-dimensional gallium arsenide-aluminum gallium arsenide structure. The model includes multiple subbands, polar optic and acoustic phonons, intervalley scattering, and band structure non-parabolicity.
