Abstract
By using a quantum kinetic equation for electrons, the expression of the acoustoelectric field under the influence of confined acoustic phonons in doped semiconductor superlattices (DSSL) is obtained. From these expressions, the acousto-electric field depends on temperature, acoustic wave frequency, Fermi energy level, doped concentration, and quantum number m characterizing the phonons confinement. The results are numerically calculated for the GaAs:Be/GaAs:Si DSSL and show that the appearance of phonons confinement makes the acousto-electric field value become different than the cases of unconfined phonons.
