Undergrad What Are the Best Resources to Understand Resonant Tunneling Diodes?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking resources to understand the theory behind resonant tunneling diodes for a group project involving computational methods. The team plans to apply transfer matrix and finite difference methods to this topic. A link to the Wikipedia page on resonant tunneling diodes is provided, along with a request for additional resources. Participants are encouraged to share relevant literature or references that could aid in the project. The goal is to deepen understanding of the underlying principles of resonant tunneling diodes.

Hi guys for my group project this year my team needs to apply two computational methods to a real system.
The two methods are transfer matrix and finite difference and we have chosen to apply them to a resonant tunnelling diode.
Can any of you guys recommend any resources which may be useful to help write about the theory behind a resonant tunnelling diode?
Thanks for any help in advance

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
