摘要：
We have investigated the electron conduction in semiconductor superlattices (SL) by measuring free carrier absorption by far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopy. It is found that the momentum relaxation time, tau, is quite anisotropic; tau in the SL direction (growth direction), tau(SL), being approximately shorter by a factor of two than that for the in-plane direction, tau(parallel to). Furthermore, suppression of the long-range conductivity in the SL direction has been observed and attributed to the localization due to potential disorder. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
