Physical principles of the amplification of electromagnetic radiation due to negative electron masses in a semiconductor superlattice
In a superlattice placed in crossed electric and magnetic fields, under certain conditions, the inversion of electron population can appear at which the average energy of electrons is above the middle of the miniband and the effective mass of the electron is negative. This is the implementation of the negative effective mass amplifier and generator (NEMAG) in the superlattice. It can result in the amplification and generation of terahertz radiation even in the absence of negative differential conductivity.
Influence effect of an external electric field and dissipative tunneling on intracenter optical transitions in quantum molecules with D2- states
In the zero-range potential model and in the effective mass approximation, dispersion equations have been obtained, that describe dependence of the average binding energies of the quasistationary g- and u-states of the D − 2 - center in the QD, as well as the widths of energy levels on the magnitude of the external electric field and the parameters of 1D-dissipative tunneling. Dips in the field dependences of the binding energies average values for quasi-stationary g- and u-states have been revealed. It is shown that the field dependences of the energy level widths for the g- and u- states of the D − 2 -center have a resonance structure at the external electric field strengths corresponding…
