Abstract

Recent research at Oxford is reviewed on resonant tunneling in type II GaAs/AlAs "double barrier" structures. In this work high pressure and high magnetic field, both parallel and perpendicular to the layers, play a key role. Our results include the first determination of the pressure dependence of the transverse effective mass in AlAs, a complete re-evaluation of the shape of the camel's back dispersion, and the first observation of Xx-Xy interface band mixing.
