Low-temperature electron mobility in parabolic quantum wells

We present a theoretical study on the electron mobility and scattering mechanism in a remotely doped AlGaAs wide parabolic quantum well. Electron mobilities in different subbands are calculated from the self-consistent results of the subband energy and wavefunction in the system. The scattering due to ionized impurities and alloy disorder is considered. We show theinterplay of the different scattering mechanisms.
