Abstract

In this paper, we investigate transmission through short superlattices in a perpendicular magnetic field. The shift in energy of the transmission peak can be qualitatively understood in terms of the semiclassical motion in the drift region, whereas full quantitative agreement can be obtained from a quantum mechanical transport model. Interface roughness does not influence this behavior crucially.
