We theoretically and numerically present the hybrid phonon modes for the double heterostructure GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As and their interactions with electrons. More specifically, we have calculated the electron capture within a symmetric quantum well via the emission of hybrid phonons. Our investigation shows that the capture rates via the hybrid phonons are matched to the rates predicted by the dielectric continuum (DC) model and the concentration of aluminium which is an important parameter for controlling the electron capture process in light emitting diodes (LED).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
