Abstract

Resonant tunneling is observed in double barrier resonant tunneling diodes with semimetallic ErAs quantum wells. Magnetic field dependence distinguishes two different resonant channels while the thickness dependence of the voltage for resonant tunneling strongly suggests that the electrons tunnel through hole states in the semimetal quantum well.
