بررسی آشوب اتلافی در ابرشبکههای نیمرسانا
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 کاملDynamical Instabilities and Deterministic Chaos in Ballistic Electron Motion in Semiconductor Superlattices
We consider the motion of ballistic electrons within a superlattice miniband under the influence of an alternating electric field. We show that the interaction of electrons with the self-consistent electromagnetic field generated by the electron current may lead to the transition from regular to chaotic dynamics. We estimate the conditions for the experimental observation of this deterministic ...
متن کاملLuminescence from Miniband States in Heavily Doped Superlattices
We have studied doped superlattices of GaAs/AlGaAs composition. When the doping atoms are introduced into the barriers surrounding the superlattice, as well as to the inner ones, but with half of the concentration, the photoluminescence due to interband transitions from extended superlattice states is detected. This is demonstrated by a study of the sample’s photoluminescence in a magnetic fiel...
متن کاملAn Analytical and Numerical Investigation of the Dissipative Chaos in Semiconductor Superlattices
The transport of electrons in a semiconductor superlattice miniband under the influence of electrical and magnetic fields, which are applied in different directions on the superlattice, is investigated. The time series diagrams and the Lyapunov exponent are computed using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The numerical computations show that for particular values of the parameters, which dep...
متن کاملBroadband semiconductor superlattice detector for THz radiation
We report on a broadband GaAs/AlAs superlattice detector for THz radiation; a THz field reduces the current through a superlattice, which is carried by miniband electrons, due to modulation of the Bloch oscillations of the miniband electrons. We studied the detector response, by use of a free electron laser, in a large frequency range ~5–12 THz!. The responsivity showed strong minima at frequen...
