Abstract
Heterostructures consist of (at least two) different materials. The geometry of the interfaces between the two materials can be complicated. The simplest case is a planar interface, i.e. a layered system. A metal–semiconductor junction is generally a heterostructure. However, we will use the term mostly for structures of various semiconductors. Most of the heterostructures discussed here are epitaxial, i.e. fabricated by the successive epitaxy of the various layers on a substrate.
