Zusammenfassung

Applying a Monte Carlo technique for the simulation of the dynamics of electrons in a semiconductor superlattice, we studied the action of a terahertz field on the motion of electrons by performing Bloch oscillations subject to inelastic scattering. We found that, due to polar optic phonon emission, the Bloch oscillating electrons can form k-space bunches phase locked to the terahertz field. For ...
