Resonant Tunneling Properties of Gaussian Double Barrier Potential and Effect of the Electric Field Bias

Abstract

Resonant tunneling properties of finite Gaussian double quantum barrier structure are studied in the absence and presence of electric field bias. Non-equilibrium Green's function method based on the finite difference method is used. A detailed analysis of the resonant energy level is given and the importance of system parameters is discussed. The dependence of the transmission properties on the barriers and electric field bias are revealed. A comparison between different barrier shape data is presented.
