Transverse and Longitudinal Tunneling in Confined Heterostructures
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn this thesis useful and powerful self-consistent Poisson-Schrodinger solvers are implemented to study novel low-dimensional tunneling effects and their application in confined heterostructures. In particular, three different three-terminal devices are studied which take advantage of the quantum-mechanical nature of electrons and holes to exhibit negative differential resistance (NDR) via tunneling.
