摘要：

Quantitative calculations are reported of both band-to band Auger and radiative recombination lifetimes in thin-layered type II InxGa1-xSb/InAs superlattices with energy gaps in the 5-17 mum range, using accurate band structure and numerical techniques. Results for an 11 mum superlattice are compared with similar calculations for bulk HgCdTe and a HgTe/CdTe superlattice having the same energy gap. The results show the n-type Auger rates to be comparable and the p-type rates to be suppressed by three orders of magnitude in some experimentally realizable structures. Thus, well fabricated III-V superlattices appear to be excellent candidates as a new class of infrared detectors.
