Phonon and charge carrier separation in quantum wells

A quantum well structure having a host optical phonon confinement well (11) having a characteristic phonon distribution (16), and at least one charge carrier confinement well (17) located near a minima of the phonon distribution (16). In one embodiment, a wide bandgap layer (13) is formed in a centr...

Zusammenfassung:A quantum well structure having a host optical phonon confinement well (11) having a characteristic phonon distribution (16), and at least one charge carrier confinement well (17) located near a minima of the phonon distribution (16). In one embodiment, a wide bandgap layer (13) is formed in a central portion of the host optical phonon confinement well (11), wherein the wide bandgap layer (13) has phonon properties closely matching that of the host phonon confinement well (11).
