摘要: The dependence of current components on GaAs well widths is studied in AlAs/GaAs/AlAs double barrier diode structures having AlAs barriers 8 atomic layers. It shown for the first time that density JRT resonant varies from 8×102 to 1.6×104 A cm−2 by choice width 9 5 nm accordance with theoretical calculations. Furthermore, one these diodes shows excellent current‐voltage characteristics at room temperature a peak valley ratio 3, highest value ever reported.
