Abstract

Theoretical results concerning the transmission properties of graded GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs Double-Quantum-Well Triple-Barriers (DQW-TB) are presented. It is shown that the existence of nonabrupt interfaces shifts the tunnelling resonances toward low energies, and is responsible for a significant reduction in the splitting of the double resonant peaks. The electric field effects on the transmission properties of GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs DQW-TB also change when the existence of nonabrupt interfaces are considered. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
