Tamm States In Finite Semiconductor Superlattices: Influence Of Accumulation And Depletion Layers, Roger H. Yu May 1992

Tamm States In Finite Semiconductor Superlattices: Influence Of Accumulation And Depletion Layers, Roger H. Yu

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

We discuss the electronic-level structure of finite semiconductor superlattices and the influence of accumulation and depletion regions on the surface localized states (Tamm states). Exact solutions of the Poisson and Schrödinger equations are obtained self-consistently, through use of a nonuniform jellium model. Both high-energy and low-energy Tamm states are found.
