| Summary: | Using the effective mass model for an electron and the dielectric continuum model, analytical solutions of the self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson system of equations are obtained. Quantum mechanical theory of electronic stationary states, the oscillator strengths of quantum transitions and a method of potential profile calculation is developed for the experimentally constructed three-well resonance-tunneling structure — a separate cascade of quantum cascade detector. For the proposed method, a comparison with the results of other methods and with the results of the experiment was carried out. A good agreement between the calculated value of the detected energy and its experimental value has been obtained, the difference being no more than 2.5%. |
