摘要
Electron populations induced by spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in semiconductor heterostructures can be estimated simply by using elementary electrostatic theory. The method is illustrated for the AlGaN/GaN system in which the AlGaN barrier is either undoped, or doped n type, and the effect of a GaN overlayer is described.
