Quantum heterostructure
Quantum heterostructure is a heterostructure in a substrate (usually a semiconductor material), with size restricting the movements of the charge carriers and forcing them into a quantum confinement, leading to formation of a set of discrete energy levels the carriers can exist at. Quantum heterostructures have sharper density of states than structures of more conventional sizes.
