Abstract
A wave-function modulation induced by insertion of several thin barrier layers inside a quantum well is proposed as a method of enhancement of the electron mobility limited by scattering from optical phonons. Numerical calculations demonstrate appreciable enhancement for appropriate values of the parameters for which intersubband scattering processes are suppressed.
