Study of the Electron Mobility in InAs/GaSb Type II Superlattices at High Temperatures

Abstract

In this paper, we present a study of the effects of temperature on the electron mobility in InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices (SLs) in which the band structures and wave functions are calculated by solving the K.P Hamiltonian using the numerical Finite Difference method. In the model the dominant scattering mechanisms such as alloy scattering, acoustic phonon scattering and optical phonon scattering are taken into account. The obtained electron mobility of the type II SLs is depended on the structural parameters and different scattering parameters. A comparison of our calculated results with published experimental data is shown to be in good agreement.
