Phonon scattering and energy relaxation in two-, one-, and zero-dimensional electron gases

We report on calculations of intrasubband and intersubband phonon scattering in quantum-confined electron gases based on lattice-matched ${\mathrm{In}}_{\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$As/InP quantum wells. Dimensionality effects on the emission of acoustic phonons ar... View More
