In this paper the two-dimensional scattering rates were calculated in pseudomorphic Al/sub x//Ga/sub 1-x//As/Ga/sub y/In/sub l -y//As/GaAs heterostructure systems. The electronic states of the square quantum well were determined by the numerical self-consistent solution of Poisson's and Schrodinger's equations. The numerically obtained wave functions and energy levels were used to obtain the major two-dimensional scattering rates in this structure. Polar optical- and acoustic-phonon scattering, piezoelectric, ionized impurity and alloy scattering were considered for the first two sub-bands. The results were compared to the three-dimensional scattering rates also calculated in the same region.
