متن کاملInterband optical investigation of Bloch oscillations in semiconductor superlattices
The experimental observation of Bloch oscillations in solids was long thought to be out of experimental reach. The invention of the semiconductor superlattice has changed this situation decisively. Transport experiments performed in the past two decades have given indirect evidence for the existence of Bloch oscillations. Recently, it has been possible to directly observe Bloch oscillations in ...
متن کاملTheory of nonlinear charge transport, wave propagation, and self-oscillations in semiconductor superlattices
Nonlinear charge transport in semiconductor superlattices under strong electric fields parallel to the growth direction results in rich dynamical behaviour including the formation of electric field domains, pinning or propagation of domain walls, self-sustained oscillations of the current and chaos. Theories of these effects use reduced descriptions of transport in terms of average charge densi...
متن کاملLow-Field Limit for a Nonlinear Discrete Drift-Diffusion Model Arising in Semiconductor Superlattices Theory
Charge transport in semiconductor superlattices can be described through a discrete drift-diffusion model. In this model, we identify some small parameter h > 0, by means of physically relevant dimensionless quantities. Precisely, we investigate a regime where the length of the superlattice period is small while the doping profile is high. In the limit h → 0, we are led to a nonlinear drift dif...
متن کاملSemiconductor Superlattices: A model system for nonlinear transport
Electric transport in semiconductor superlattices is dominated by pronounced negative differential conductivity. In this report the standard transport theories for superlattices, i.e. miniband conduction, Wannier-Stark-hopping, and sequential tunneling, are reviewed in detail. Their relation to each other is clarified by a comparison with a quantum transport model based on nonequilibrium Green ...
