Abstract
In this paper, we have calculated the electronic states and the coefficient of transmission in ZnO/MgxZn1-xO quantum well structures (QW), with 20% of Magnesium in both the parabolic and the non-parabolic cases. Our calculations are performed in the context of the approximation of the envelope function formalism, and using the finite difference method. The results show that the intersubband transition energy increases rapidly with well width until Lw=5nm and becomes almost constant (specially transitions E13 et E23). Wavelength λ23 decreases with well width until Lw=5nm and becomes constant. The non-parabolicity effect is more pronounced for small QW (Lw ≤ 5nm) and less marked in narrow and large QW. Also, we are studied the coefficient of transmission. We notice that when the height of barrier increases the coefficient of transmission decreases. It will be necessary to provide more energy to the electron so that it can cross the barrier. We also notice the variations related to a phenomenon of reflection quantum.
