(111)硅量子阱中的谷简并

Valley Degeneracies in (111) Silicon Quantum Wells

Neerav Kharche, Seongmin Kim, Timothy B. Boykin, Gerhard Klimeck

摘要:

(111)硅量子阱已被广泛研究,但没有令人信服的解释存在的实验观察到的6倍谷简并打破为2和4倍简并。在这里,系统的sp3d5s* 紧束缚和有效质量的计算表明,一个典型的错切调制的能级,导致打破6倍谷简并成2个较低和4个提高谷。基于有效质量的谷投影模型用于确定大超原胞紧束缚计算中谷极小值的方向。紧束缚的计算与实验相比,有效质量的计算更好地符合。

英文摘要:

(111) Silicon quantum wells have been studied extensively, yet no convincing explanation exists for the experimentally observed breaking of 6 fold valley degeneracy into 2 and 4 fold degeneracies. Here, systematic sp3d5s* tight-binding and effective mass calculations are presented to show that a typical miscut modulates the energy levels which leads to breaking of 6 fold valley degeneracy into 2 lower and 4 raised valleys. An effective mass based valley-projection model is used to determine the directions of valley-minima in tight-binding calculations of large supercells. Tight-binding calculations are in better agreement with experiments compared to effective mass calculations.
