Abstract
The aperiodic GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs superlattices (SL) with trimer disorder have been studied in this paper. The transfer-matrix technique and the exact Airy function formalism have been used to determine the miniband structure, the transmission coefficient, the resonance energy and resonant tunneling time (RTT). Although the disorder localizes the states on average, our numerical calculations show that the localization length of the states becomes more extended when the disorder is correlated (trimer case). We have also found that the RTT is of the order of several femtoseconds.
