| A numerical procedure based on the time-dependent Kohn--Sham equation with an improved boundary condition for the modeling double barrier resonant tunneling diode is presented. The dependence of current components on well widths in AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs structure is studied. An oscillatory behavior was observed as the width of the well is changed. Our evaluation shows that this oscillation cannot attribute to the well-known oscillation at resonance state. |
