Abstract [en]
It was shown experimentally that charging InAs quantum dots (QDs) embedded in a small-area GaAs/AlAs double-barrier resonant tunneling diode (RTD) effectively modified the carrier transport properties of the RTD. By adopting and comparing the one-dimensional plane-wave and three-dimensional (3D) wave-packet transport theories we show that the electron transports in the QDRTD device are in the form of 3D wave packets, which are strongly affected by the 3D long-range Coulomb potential induced by charged InAs QDs. This explains well experimental data and indicates that the 3D wave-packet transport model is more appropriate for the QDRTD device.
