Abstract :
In this paper, we present an accurate model for scattering rates in a AlGaAs/GaAs single-well heterostructure, based on new extended relations for wave functions and subband levels. In this structure, the wave functions and energy levels of two dimensional electron gas are derived by a variational method. The effect of fourth subband level on the scattering rates and carrier velocity are evaluated by Monte Carlo simulation.
