Electron dynamics in superlattices subject to crossed magnetic and electric fields
نویسندگان
چکیده
The motion of charge particles in a superlattice structure subject to the crossed magnetic and electric fields, both applied in the in-plane direction, is discussed with respect to the novel type of terahertz oscillations suggested recently, [M. Orlita, R. Grill, L. Smrčka, M. Zvára, Phys. Rev. B 74 (2006) 125312]. The effects of the finite size of the superlattice is considered in comparison with the standard Bloch oscillations. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. PACS: 73.21.Cd; 73.40. c

Self-Fields Effects on Gain in a Helical Wiggler Free Electron Laser with Ion-Channel Guiding and Axial Magnetic Field
In this paper, we have investigated the effects of self-fields on gain in a helical wiggler free electron laser with axial magnetic field and ion-channel guiding. The self-electric and self-magnetic fields of a relativistic electron beam passing through a helical wiggler are analyzed. The electron trajectories and the small signal gain are derived. Numerical investigation is shown that for grou...
متن کاملRegular rather than chaotic origin of the resonant transport in superlattices.
We address the enhancement of electron transport in semiconductor superlattices that occurs in combined electric and magnetic fields when cyclotron rotation becomes resonant with Bloch oscillations. We show that the phenomenon is regular in origin, contrary to the widespread belief that it arises through chaotic diffusion. The theory verified by simulations provides an accurate description of e...
متن کاملCorrelated Electron-Hole Transitions in Bulk GaAs and GaAs-(Ga,Al)As Quantum Wells: Effects of Applied Electric and In-Plane Magnetic Fields
The effects of crossed electric and magnetic fields on the electronic and exciton properties in semiconductor heterostructures have been investigated within the effective-mass and parabolic band approximations for both bulk GaAs and GaAs-Ga1−xAlxAs quantum wells. The combined effects on the heterostructure properties of the applied crossed electric/magnetic fields together with the direct coupl...
متن کاملMeasurement of Electron Transport in Liquid Argon in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Fields
We report on a measurement of excess electron drift properties in liquid argon in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic fields. The electric field strength was varied between 6 and 110 V/cm. Using a superconducting solenoid magnetic field strengths up to 5 T were achieved. The mag_netic field 8 was oriented perpendicular to the electric field E and the components of the drift velocity G...
متن کاملCutoff conditions for transverse circularly polarized electromagnetic waves in 8 finite temperature electro-magneto-ionic medium
Ab&act-The dispersion relation for wave propagation in a homogeneous, electrically neutral electron gas subject to crossed static electric and magnetic fields is derived using the coupled Maxwell-Boltzmann-Vlasov equations. The cutoff condition for transverse circularly polarized electromagnetic waves is obtained from the derived dispersion relation. The variation of the cutoff frequency CO,, w...
