Abstract
Force and energy balance equations are derived for steady state hot electron transport in a type-I superlattice composed of periodically arranged finite-width quantum wells. The scatterings by remote and background impurities and by acoustic and polar optical phonons are taken into account, together with Coulomb interactions between intralayer electrons and interlayer electrons. The carrier mobility and electron temperature are calculated as functions of drift velocity ν up to ν=3×10 7 cm / s, showing significant nonlinearity and dependence on geometrical superlattice parameters (quantum well width and separation, etc.)
