  • Abstract
    The capture and escape in quantum wells are considered as scattering events in Monte Carlo simulation. Explicit expressions are derived for these interaction rates which depend on carrier initial energy. The expressions are applied to calculate the electron overall capture time in a GRINSCH quantum well at 300 K.
