摘要
We show that transmission resonances associated with heavy-hole states in InAs/GaSb based interband tunnel structures survive for vanishingly small crystal momentum parallel to the interface. These effects are expected to arise by several possible mechanisms including the material dependence of the zone-center Bloch functions. We find that one simple model can account for the diverse ways that such transmission resonances manifest themselves in this and other systems.
