Donor states in modulation-doped Si/SiGe heterostructures
We present a unified approach for calculating the properties of shallow
donors inside or outside heterostructure quantum wells. The method allows us to
obtain not only the binding energies of all localized states of any symmetry,
but also the energy width of the resonant states which may appear when a
localized state becomes degenerate with the continuous quantum well subbands.
The approach is non-variational, and we are therefore also able to evaluate the
wave functions. This is used to calculate the optical absorption spectrum,
which is strongly non-isotropic due to the selection rules. The results
obtained from calculations for Si/SiGe quantum wells allow us to
present the general behavior of the impurity states, as the donor position is
varied from the center of the well to deep inside the barrier. The influence on
the donor ground state from both the central-cell effect and the strain arising
from the lattice mismatch is carefully considered.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figure
Some Transaction Cost Effects of Authoritarian Management
This paper studies the transaction cost economizing effects of
authoritarian management in organizations and systems subject to higher transaction
costs originating from various sources. We analyze the nature, mechanisms, and
transaction cost aspects of the authoritarian management style. We argue that the
higher the transaction costs of internal organization, the more autocratic the manager
is likely to be. We discuss the features of authoritarian managers, illustrating some of
our key hypotheses with the example of Henry Ford and his running of the Ford
Motor Company. In the context of non-market economies, we relate authoritarian
leadership to economic centralism in high transaction cost systems such as East
European societies with significant transactional or organizational opportunism, as
well as other sources of market failure
