Abstract

In this paper, the electrical conductivity of a nondegenerate electron gas with a complex shaped quantum well is calculated. The conductivity’s dependences on the temperature and on the parameters of the quantum well are studied in the case of electron-phonon scattering. For scattering of electrons by polar optical phonons, the conductivity is shown to depend essentially on the temperature, as distinct from acoustical phonon scattering and to decrease with increasing temperature. Also, the conductivity decreases down to zero, with increasing potential of quantum well.
