摘要：
The oscillations of tunnel current in double-barrier resonant tunneling structures incorporating a variety of types of spacer layers in both the emitter and the collector have been studied. In some structures the period of oscillations was found to be considerably less than LO-phonon energy. A simple model based on the quantum interference effect arising in structures having a wide spacer layer is proposed to explain the experimental results.
