摘要
Beyond the double barrier diode as the paradigm of resonant tunnelling, a range of novel tunnelling phenomena have been investigated with judiciously designed multilayer semiconductor structures. We describe three such examples: tunnelling between two superlattices, tunnelling through indirect gap semiconductor layers, and the optical detection of tunnelling between quantum wells.
