Abstract
AbstractWe study the effect of the alloy‐disorder‐scattering on the electron transport in a quasi‐one‐dimensional semiconductor. Analytical calculations of the alloy‐disorder‐limited momentum relaxation time for carrier scattering in a cylindrical quantum wire using an infinite well model. The transverse part of the carrier wave function is taken to be a Bessel function. It is found that the one‐dimensional mobility is significantly greater than two‐dimensional mobility. It is shown that the alloy‐disorder‐scattering‐limited mobility increases with increasing wire radius and increases with increasing temperature. We compare our results with different scattering mechanisms for one‐dimensional systems. Results are also included for the alloy composition dependence of the mobility.
