Abstract

Quantum confined GaAs/AlAs resonant tunneling diodes with submicron lateral dimensions are studied theoretically using the transfer Hamiltonian formalism. It is shown that a high magnetic field normal to the current and parallel to the quantum wire cavity can be used to unambiguously identify the lateral quantum confinement. The current-voltage characteristics for other magnetic field orientations are also discussed.
