Materials and Physics Aspects of Quantum Heterostructures

  • Chapter
Highlights in Condensed Matter Physics and Future Prospects

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 285))

Abstract

Quantum heterostructures have evolved over the last two decades to become a prominant, multi-disciplinary field in Condensed matter science. We provide, in this work, an overview of both the materials and physics aspects. Structure processing in terms of deposition and characterizatiuon is described. The introduction of a heterostructure potential is shown to resuit in fundamental modifications of the materials, leading to prescribed electronic properties. The most extensively studied System of GaAs-AlAs is used for this illustration. Other heterostructure systems are discussed to the extent that they exhibit specific features.
