Selective energy filtering in a multiple-quantum-well nanodevice: The quantum cascade cooler

Using quantum transport simulations, we study the operating principle of a proposed quantum cascade cooler, a multiple-quantum-well structure whose cooling capabilities rely on combined resonant tunneling and thermionic-emission filtering. We couple charge and heat transport by self-consistently sol...
