Abstract

The rate of LO-phonon assisted interband transitions in an InAs/GaSb double quantum well heterostructure is compared with the elastic interband tunneling rate through the heterostructure ‘leaky window’. We show that the phonon-assisted process can dominate over the elastic tunneling if the initial and final electron states anticross and the anticrossing gap is smaller than the LO-phonon energy.
