By virtue of a thin AlAs insertion barrier, the thermal current is effectively reduced and electron resonant tunneling through quantum dots under both forward and reverse biased conditions is observed at relatively high temperature of 77K. The ground states of quantum dots are found to be at ~0.19eV below the conduction band of GaAs matrix. The theoretical computations are in conformity with experimental data.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-12-06T15:56:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "inas/gaas quantum dots", "electron resonant tunneling", "alas insertion layer", "inas/gaas quantum dot schottky", "quantum dot schottky resonant" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0712.0980S" } } }
