Zusammenfassung:An enhanced conductivity superlattice made from semiconductor materials provides enhanced conductivity. It is believed that conductivity can be enhanced sufficiently to produce superconductivity well above typical superconductivity temperatures of the semiconductor materials. The enhanced conductivity quantum well is a superlattice structure having a monolayer phonon generator sandwiched between layers of a host material. Barrier layers surround the host material to confine the host material electrons. In another embodiment, the monolayer may be located within the barrier layers. The monolayer generates phonons having an optical energy which is lower than the optical energy of the host material. The generated phonons couple with low energy electrons or holes to propagate without dissipation of electron energy.
