Symmetry-breaking and chaos in electron transport in semiconductor superlattices
Kirill N. Alekseev, Ethan H. Cannon, Jonathan C. McKinney +2
We study the motion of electrons in a single miniband of a semiconductor superlattice driven by THz electric field polarized along the growth direction. We work in the semiclassica…
Fractional and unquantized dc voltage generation in THz-driven semiconductor superlattices
Kirill N. Alekseev, Ethan H. Cannon, Feodor V. Kusmartsev +1
We consider the spontaneous creation of a dc voltage across a strongly coupled semiconductor superlattice subjected to THz radiation. We show that the dc voltage may be approximate…
Absolute Negative Conductivity and Spontaneous Current Generation in Semiconductor Superlattices with Hot Electrons
Ethan H. Cannon, Feodor V. Kusmartsev, Kirill N. Alekseev +1
We study electron transport through a semiconductor superlattice subject to an electric field parallel to and a magnetic field perpendicular to the growth axis. Using a single mini…
Spontaneous DC Current Generation in a Resistively Shunted Semiconductor Superlattice Driven by a TeraHertz Field
Kirill N. Alekseev, Ethan H. Cannon, Jonathan C. McKinney +2
We study a resistively shunted semiconductor superlattice subject to a high-frequency electric field. Using a balance equation approach that incorporates the influence of the elect…
