Abstract

We have investigated Γ -symmetry resonant tunneling in a GaAsAlAs "double barrier structure" with 20 Å thick AlAs barriers as a function of hydrostatic pressure. A quantitative analysis based on transfer matrix and self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson calculations is performed to understand the effects of charge accumulation in each layer on the resonance bias and the resonance peak/valley currents, yielding the value of the longitudinal mass (mz*) at the band edge of 20 Å thick AlAs, mz* = (0.35±0.05) m0.
