Correlation Between Bands Structure and Magneto-Transport Properties in n-type HgTe∕CdTe Superlattice with Relatively Thin CdTe Barrier

Correlation Between Band Structure and Magneto- Transport Properties in n-type HgTe/CdTe Two-Dimensional Nanostructure Superlattice. Application to Far-Infrared Detection

“…Theoretical calculations of the electronic properties of n-type HgTe/CdTe superlattices (SLs) have provided an agreement with the experimental data on the magneto-transport behaviour. We have measured the conductivity, Hall mobility, Seebeck and Shubnikov-de Haas effects and angular dependence of the magneto-resistance [8]. Our sample, grown by MBE, had a period d=d 1 +d 2 (124 layers) of d 1 =8.6 nm (HgTe) /d 2 =3.2 nm (CdTe).…”
