Quantum heterostructure:-
Heterostructure with size restricting also the movements of thecharge carriers is restricted and forcing them into a quantumconfinement.According to the confinement direction of electrons materials can bedevided as follows.
(a)Bulk Material (b)Quantum well
(c)Quantum wire (d) Quantum dot

Why Quantum Well, Wire and Dot structure is advantageous?
High Radiative Efficiency:-Small VolumeHigh Carrier Concentration
Low Thresholds Current:
Small volumeCarrier density for population Inversion
How the Quantum Structures are made?Using Heterojunctions.

Occupation factor for Quantum Wire:-
Occupation Factor:-Availability of the particle in
Results:-
.
Decrease in occupation factormeans increase in tunneling fromactive region to barrier region.Eigen energy is inverselyproportional to active region.
Hence lower Eigen energymeans more active region andmore active region is capable ofconsisting more electrons.

Scattering rate:-
Possibility of the electron to be tunneled down to barrierregion.Variation of scattering rate w.r.t. to different angle madeby electron moment with the direction of electronpropagation.Maximum scattering upto angle 20 due to higherprobability of electron in quantum region.Further as angle theta increases possibility of directtunneling of electron from the active region. Yields thatelectron escapes from the active region by lowering the

Using analogy if ohms lawjustification for nature of theincreasing peak density:-
According to Ohms law,
So, as area increasesresistance decreases
which increases theconductivity.

Square wire width along X and Y direction vs peak amplitude ofprobability density:-
As the dimension of thewire goes on increasingvalue of peak densityincreases.
Increasing the wiredimension means area ofactive region increases.More active region
of consisting moreelectrons with increasingthe peak density.

Increasing wire dimensionmeans increasing activeregion.As active region again goeson increasing means Eigenenergy of the electrondecreases.And confinement increases.
Spread in Y direction is dueto the increased dimension inY direction.

Conclusions:-
Probability Density dependence on the DimensionsDimensions decides the active region area. Capability of confining electrons increases.
Losses depends on the dimensions
Again dimensions decides active regionMore Active regionLesser Eigen energyLess losses
Probability Density dependence on the Mole fraction.More mole fractionMore band offsetMore electron transfer from barrier region to wire regionSo more electrons for confinement

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited.
Imagination encircles the world.
