Wave dynamics in two-dimensional samples of n-GaAs with point contacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present results of numerical simulations of a two-dimensional Kroemer model for the Gunn effect in samples with different number of point contacts. These results can be interpreted with the help of asymptotic theories for particular geometries: a one-dimensional sample and a Corbino disk (a circular sample with a point contact at the center surrounded by a metallic contact attached to its boundary). Comments on open problems and possible experimental verification are also made. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Two-dimensional oscillatory patterns in semiconductors with point contacts.
Planar samples of n-GaAs with attached point contacts at different dc voltages may display a variety of spatiotemporal patterns arising from the dynamics of curved charge dipole waves. Patterns rank from oscillations due to recycling and motion of simple quasiplanar or cylindrical wave fronts to more complex patterns that include merging and splitting of different fronts. Results of numerical s...
متن کاملSpontaneous spin polarization in quantum point contacts.
We use spatial spin separation by a magnetic focusing technique to probe the polarization of quantum point contacts. The point contacts are fabricated from p-type GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. A finite polarization is measured in the low-density regime, when the conductance of a point contact is tuned to < 2e2/h. Polarization is stronger in samples with a well-defined "0.7 structure."

متن کاملMulti-soliton of the (2+1)-dimensional Calogero-Bogoyavlenskii-Schiff equation and KdV equation
A direct rational exponential scheme is offered to construct exact multi-soliton solutions of nonlinear partial differential equation. We have considered the Calogero–Bogoyavlenskii–Schiff equation and KdV equation as two concrete examples to show efficiency of the method. As a result, one wave, two wave and three wave soliton solutions are obtained. Corresponding potential energy of the solito...
متن کاملA High Order Approximation of the Two Dimensional Acoustic Wave Equation with Discontinuous Coefficients
This paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. The method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions. The construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump conditio...
