Analysis of ballistic electron transport in semiconductor quantum-well waveguides

Daniel W. Wilson, Elias N. Glytsis, and Thomas K. Gaylord

Open Access Open Access

Abstract

The wave nature of ballistic (collisionless) electrons in semiconductor quantum wells is treated. Reflection of an electron from a single potential barrier is analyzed as a function of the electron's incident angle and kinetic energy. Results include critical angle for total reflection, wave-function phase shift on reflection, and lateral (Goos–Hanchen) shift parallel to the barrier on reflection.
