摘要
We study electronic conduction of short period strained GaN/AlN superlattices. The mechanisms of current transport perpendicular to the layers were studied, with an emphasis on the elastic and inelastic tunneling through the AlN barriers. Electron transport as a function of temperature is examined in I-V, G-V (first derivative dI/dV). The current and the conductance show nonlinear oscillatory character. The observed characteristics are interpreted as sequential resonant tunneling through AlN barriers and reveal negative differential conductivity (NDC). (C) 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
