| Resonant tunnelling via single impurities placed in a single barrier was experimentally studied. The typically observed structures in the current-voltage characteristics seem to be paired. Such a pair can be interpreted as ground and excited states of an impurity, related to Xxy and Xz valleys, which is in agreement with the results obtained for big mesas. However, it is not clear why Xxy states can be seen without any phonon participation. |
