CHANGES OF ELECTRONIC NOISE INDUCED BY OSCILLATING FIELDS IN BULK GaAs SEMICONDUCTORS
2008
A Monte Carlo study of hot-electron intrinsic noise in a n-type GaAs bulk driven by one or two mixed cyclostationary electric fields is presented. The noise properties are investigated by computing the spectral density of velocity fluctuations. An analysis of the noise features as a function of the amplitudes and frequencies of two applied fields is presented. Numerical results show that it is possible to reduce the intrinsic noise. The best conditions to realize this effect are discussed.
Monte Carlo analysis of electronic noise in semiconductors under sub‐terahertz cyclostationary mixed fields
2006
This paper reports the results of Monte Carlo simulations of electronic noise in a GaAs bulk driven by two mixed high-frequency large-amplitude periodic electric fields. Under these conditions, the system response shows some peculiarities in the noise performance, such as a resonant-like enhancement of the spectra near the two frequencies of the applied fields. The relations among the frequency response and the velocity fluctuations as a function of intensities and frequencies of the sub-terahertz mixed excitation fields have been investigated.

The influence of noise on electron dynamics in semiconductors driven by a periodic electric field
2009
Studies about the constructive aspects of noise and fluctuations in different non-linear systems have shown that the addition of external noise to systems with an intrinsic noise may result in a less noisy response. Recently, the possibility to reduce the diffusion noise in semiconductor bulk materials by adding a random fluctuating contribution to the driving static electric field has been tested. The present work extends the previous theories by considering the noise-induced effects on the electron transport dynamics in low-doped n-type GaAs samples driven by a high-frequency periodic electric field (cyclostationary conditions). By means of Monte Carlo simulations, we calculate the change…
Frequency influence on the hot-electron noise reduction in GaAs operating under periodic signals
2008
A Monte Carlo study of the role of the frequency on the hot-electron intrinsic noise reduction in an n-type GaAs bulk driven by two mixed cyclostationary electric fields is presented. Previous numerical results showed the possibility to reduce the diffusion noise under specific wave-mixing conditions. In this work the variations of the noise properties are investigated by computing and integrating the spectral density of the velocity fluctuations. We found that the effect of reduction of the noise level due to the addition of a second field at twice frequency is almost independent of the frequency.
