We show that the geometrical parameters can induce a symmetry condition in this space that can strongly enhance the emission of longitudinal optical phonons. For devices with thin emitter barriers this is achieved by a wider collector's barrier.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-11-06T20:27:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "phonon emission", "optimization", "double barrier resonant tunneling device", "thin emitter barriers", "wider collectors barrier" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
