Abstract
A microscopic calculation of the perpendicular current in doped multip le quantum wells is presented. Interface roughness is shown to affect the resonant transitions as well as to cause a nonresonant background current. The theoretical characteristics exhibit several branches due to the formation of electric field domains in quantitative agreement w ith experimental data. (C) 1998 Academic Press Limited.
