Abstract
A quantum well superlattice, built from two semiconductors, is a synthetic material whose new properties are
only remotely related to the properties of the bulk semiconductors from which it is made. This paper deals
with modeling of SC superlattice, as a key point in the development of new nanoscale electronic devices. In
this work, we report results from the simulation of SC superlattice band structure using the transfer matrix
method. It includes a comparative study of the transmission coefficient as determined by the shape of the
heterostructure interface, with possible applications in synthesizing two contact nanoscale devices.
