We have studied the vertical transport properties of short period GaAs/AlAs superlattices (SLs) in the temperature range of \(4.2 \mathrm{~K}\) up to \(300 \mathrm{~K}\). We present a discussion of the scattering mechanisms which influence the electronic temperature. A semi-phenomenological formulat
It is demonstrated that the vertical charge transport in a superlattice is influenced uniquely by the difference in the effective mass of the electron between its adjacent layers. The mass difference produces a coupling between the parallel and vertical motions of the electron. As a consequence, the
The current-voltage characteristic of a semiconductor superlattice in the Stark ladder regime has been calculated. It is shown that the negative differential conductivity onset electric field is defined by the scattering time, which depends only very slightly on the superlattice miniband width.
