Multifractal dimension of chaotic attractors in a driven semiconductor superlattice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The multifractal dimension of chaotic attractors has been studied in a weakly coupled superlattice driven by an incommensurate sinusoidal voltage as a function of the driving voltage amplitude. The derived multifractal dimension for the observed bifurcation sequence shows different characteristics for chaotic, quasiperiodic, and frequency-locked attractors. In the chaotic regime, strange attractors are observed. Even in the quasiperiodic regime, attractors with a certain degree of strangeness may exist. From the observed multifractal dimensions, the deterministic nature of the chaotic oscillations is clearly identified. @S0163-1829~99!03032-5#

In this paper the motion of electron in a miniband of a semiconductor superlattice (SSL) under the influence of external electric and magnetic fields is investigated. The electric field is applied in a direction perpendicular to the layers of the semiconductor superlattice, and the magnetic field is applied in different direction Numerical calculations show conditions led to the possibility of ...
متن کاملUnstable periodic orbits and the dimensions of multifractal chaotic attractors.
The probability measure generated by typical chaotic orbits of a dynamical system can have an arbitrarily Sne-scaled interwoven structure of points with different singularity scalings. Recent work has characterized such measures via a spectrum of fractal dimension values. In this paper we pursue the idea that the infinite number of unstable periodic orbits embedded in the support of the measure...
متن کاملCan Sea Clutter and Indoor Radio Propagation be Modeled as Strange Attractors?
Sea clutter is the backscattered returns from a patch of the sea surface illuminated by a radar pulse. The amplitude waveforms of sea clutter and indoor radio propagation are very complicated. Can the apparent randomness of these waveforms be attributed to be generated by low-dimensional chaos? Based on the assumption that a chaotic attractor is characterized by a noninteger fractal dimension a...
متن کاملMultifractal chaotic attractors in a system of delay-differential equations modeling road traffic.
We study a system of delay-differential equations modeling single-lane road traffic. The cars move in a closed circuit and the system's variables are each car's velocity and the distance to the car ahead. For low and high values of traffic density the system has a stable equilibrium solution, corresponding to the uniform flow. Gradually decreasing the density from high to intermediate values we...
متن کاملExcitability of periodic and chaotic attractors in semiconductor lasers with optoelectronic feedback
The dynamics of a semiconductor laser with AC-coupled nonlinear optoelectronic feedback has been experimentally studied. A period doubling sequence of small periodic and chaotic attractors is observed, each of them displaying excitable features. This scenario is found also in a simplified physical model of the system, thus extending the concept of excitability, usually associated to fixed point...
