Abstract

In this paper, we studied the magneto-field emission from HgTe/Cdre superlattices with graded structure and compared the same with the bulk specimens of the constituent materials. It is found that the field emitted current density increases both with electron concentration and magnetic field in an oscillatory manner. The field emission in HgTe/CdTe SLi is greater than that of the same from constituent materials the theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.
