We present a comparison of the effect of real‐space transfer on the electron drift velocities in both classical heterostructure systems, those in which spatial quantization effects do not occur, and in two‐dimensional heterostructure systems using an ensemble Monte Carlo simulation. The calculations for the two‐dimensional system are based on a first‐principles formulation of electron transport in a triangular quantum well system using an ensemble Monte Carlo code tailored to include the basic physics of two‐dimensional systems. In addition, we present an analysis, again based on a complete ensemble Monte Carlo simulation, of real‐space transfer from classical systems, ones in which no two‐dimensional gas is formed at the heterointerface. Electron drift velocities within the classical system greater than that possible in the constitutive bulk materials are thwarted by either real‐space transfer out of the high mobility material into the adjacent low mobility material or k‐space transfer within the narrow ...
