Abstract

The calculation of the electronic energy levels of n-type δ-doped quantum wells in a AlGaAs matrix is presented. Many-body effects in the two-dimensional electron gas are taken into account by using a local-density Thomas-Fermi approach. Special consideration is taken into when the values of the Al molar fraction x≥0.45, and the ternary alloy becomes an indirect gap material. The results suggest that in this case the AlxGa 1-xAs can support two-dimensional conduction channels associated to the delta-doping, with carrier densities exceeding 1013 cm -2.
