Semiconductor superlattices: a model system for nonlinear transport
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Electric transport in semiconductor superlattices is dominated by pronounced negative differential conductivity. In this report, the standard transport theories for superlattices, i.e. miniband conduction, Wannier–Stark hopping, and sequential tunneling, are reviewed in detail. Their relation to each other is clarified by a comparison with a quantum transport model based on nonequilibrium Green functions. It is demonstrated that the occurrence of negative differential conductivity causes inhomogeneous electric field distributions, yielding either a characteristic sawtooth shape of the current–voltage characteristic or self-sustained current oscillations. An additional ac-voltage in the THz range is included in the theory as well. The results display absolute negative conductance, photon-assisted tunneling, the possibility of gain, and a negative tunneling capacitance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
