摘要
We found that the transitions between delocalized electronic states in quantum-dot superlattices with smaller size dispersion can account for higher electron mobility. In particular, we solved for the quantum states of a two-dimensional quantum-dot (QD) superlattice using a one-electron approximation. Electron transport properties were studied by considering hopping transitions among coupled delocalized electronic states. Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to introduce disorders in superlattice configurations as a function of QD size and size dispersion for calculation of electron mobility. The interparticle spacing, size, and temperature dependence of the electron mobility can be well explained within the framework of our analysis.
