  • Abstract
    Electron transport over graded AlxGa1-xAs heterojunction launchers has been investigated using the self-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo method. A two valley \\overrightarrow{k} \\cdot \\overrightarrow{p} Γ-L energy band model, position dependent phonon spectra, quantum mechanical reflection, and ohmic contacts have been included. Results show that heterojunction launchers reduce the average drift velocities but generate a distinct fraction of ballistic electrons.
