------------------------------------------------------------------------ COLLOQUIUM OF THE LABORATORY FOR COMPUTER DESIGN OF MATERIALS Institute for Computational Sciences and Informatics CSI 898-Sec 001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Electron-Phonon Interactions in Semiconductor Heterostructures Cynthia McIntyre Department of Physics, George Mason University Semiconductor heterostructures have shown novel electronic properties due to their modified band structure. The layered semiconductor material also has modified phonon modes and phonon potentials. As a consequence of the change to both the electronic structure and phonon modes, the electron-phonon interaction is affected. The implications of these modifications on electron mobility in semiconductors heterostructure at room temperatures will be presented. Monday, March 23 1998 4:30 pm Room 206, Science & Tech. I Refreshments will be served. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (http://www.csi.gmu.edu/lcdm/seminar/schedule.html)
