Theoretical studies of wavepacket propagation in semiconductor quantum well structures

In this thesis a heuristic expression for the current through a GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructure is derived. This expression is shown to give rise to agreement between experiment and theory. The expression itself is derived within the effective mass formalism, which is discussed to show that its use will...
