✦ Synopsis
The minibands of p-type δ-doping superlattices (SLs) in GaAs are studied in dependence on acceptor sheet doping concentrations N A and SL periods d. The calculations rely on effective mass theory, applied to the 8 valence band hole gas. Hole-hole interaction is selfconsistently taken into account, including the exchange-correlation which is considered in the local density approximation. The miniband edges of the various heavy and light hole bands, the Fermi level, and the potential well barriers and bottoms are plotted against N A with d as parameter and against d with N A as parameter. In this way, we provide complete band structure information for optical and transport measurements on p-type δ-doping superlattices.

We address in this work the electronic conduction properties of superlattices (SL) along the growth axis, in the limit of narrow minibands. Experimental results on a series of \(\mathrm{GaAs} / \mathrm{AlAs}\) SLs are compared to earlier data on wide miniband samples, and to theoretical velocity-fie
