مستخلص: We have investigated in the band structures E( d ), E( k , k ) and the effective mass m*/ m , respectively, along the growth axis and in the plane of GaAs ( d = 19 nm)/AlGaAs ( d = 5 nm) superlattice, performed in the envelope function formalism. Our results show the effect of the well thickness d and the temperature on the electronic structures of this superlattice. The latter has a direct band gap of 1.529 eV, and the corresponding cutoff wavelength indicates that it can be used as a near-infrared detector. The position of Fermi level, based on the magnetoresistance measurements of Smrčka et al. and Fermi-Dirac integral computation at 0.4 K, predicts that this sample exhibits n-type conductivity with a two-dimensional electron gas.
