Abstract

AbstractThe method for calculating the electronic transmission coefficient for elastic electronic transport through a layered structure with spatially variable anisotropic effective mass and one‐electron potential energy is proposed. In this method, the transmission coefficient is evaluated by means of a certain matrix quantity assigned to any region of the sample. Thismatrix is determined by functional shapes of the reciprocal effective mass tensor and a one‐particle potential energy in a given region as wellas by the energy and group velocity of an incident electron. As an example, the transmission coefficients are calculated for a triple‐barrier structure as well as for a structure obtained by replacing the inner potential barrier by an anisotropic conductive layer.
