Рассеяние электронов и дырок глубокими примесями в полупроводниковых гетероструктурах с квантовыми ямами

Electron and hole scattering by deep impurities in gallium arsenide heterostructures with two quantum wells under arbitrary doping profile was considered within the strongly localized potential approximation. The de-pendence of scattering rate on the carrier energy was shown to reproduce the step-like form of the density of states for size quantization subbands of the heterostructure accounting for the contribution of the overlap integral of the carrier wave functions. For hole subbands of negative effective mass the scattering rates at the subband edges have singularities common for one-dimensional systems.
