摘要：
In this article we present a study of the effect that partial occupancy of sub-bands on the two-dimensional electron mobility at different temperatures, using a fully numerical calculation in unintentionally doped AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures with different Al mole fraction in the AlxGa1-xN barrier. The analysis of our results clearly indicates that the effect of partial sub-band occupancy be considerable, especially at higher temperatures and higher Al mole fractions when more than one sub-band is occupied. Comparison of our calculated results with published experimental data shows good agreement. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
