Semi-Classical Magnetotransport in a Superlattice Miniband

Abstract

We experimentally investigate the influence of a high magnetic field parallel to the layers on the Electron. perpendicular transport in GaAs/AlAs superlattices. The key magnetoeffects are satisfactorily accounted for by a simple modified Esaki model of Electronic conduction. These results provide an excellent confirmation of semi-classical miniband transport at room temperature in semiconductor superlattices.
