The Magnetic Field

Self-consistent calculations of the electronic structure of center n-δ-doped GaAs/Al x Ga 1-x As quantum wells under in-plane magnetic fields are presented. The field B is varied up to 20 Tesla for different quantum well widths L w and sheet donor concentrations N D . The magnetic field produces noticeable changes in the energy dispersions along an in-plane direction perpendicular to B. The effects of B are more pronounced for higher electronic subbands. It is found that the diamagnetic shifts increase with increasing L w and/or N D . Contrarily to what has been observed in modulation-doped quantum wells, in these δ-doped systems the electron energy dispersions keep the single conduction band minimum at the center of the Brillouin zone even for intense magnetic fields.
