作为约束可激发介质的光激发半导体超晶格:偶极畴的运动和电流自振荡

Photo-excited semiconductor superlattices as constrained excitable media: Motion of dipole domains and current self-oscillations

摘要:

本文提出并分析了一个非掺杂光激发半导体超晶格中电荷输运的模型,该模型包括电子-空穴复合对电场的依赖性以及通过依赖于电场的复合系数对光激发强度的依赖性。在直流偏压和高的光激发强度下,由于超晶格内部的一些电荷偶极波的重复均匀成核,出现了电流的自持振荡。与复合系数恒定的情况相反,成核偶极波可以在两个相对移动的偶极中分裂为场依赖的复合系数。理解这些不寻常性质的关键是这些超晶格具有独特的静电场域。同时,它们的动力学行为类似于一个扩展的可激发系统:唯一稳定不动点的适当有限扰动可能会导致相空间中的大偏移,然后返回到稳定状态并触发脉冲和波列。电压偏置约束导致新波在旧波到达触点时成核。

英文摘要:

A model for charge transport in undoped, photo-excited semiconductor superlattices, which includes the dependence of the electron-hole recombination on the electric field and on the photo-excitation intensity through the field-dependent recombination coefficient, is proposed and analyzed. Under dc voltage bias and high photo-excitation intensities, there appear self-sustained oscillations of the current due to a repeated homogeneous nucleation of a number of charge dipole waves inside the superlattice. In contrast to the case of a constant recombination coefficient, nucleated dipole waves can split for a field-dependent recombination coefficient in two oppositely moving dipoles. The key for understanding these unusual properties is that these superlattices have a unique static electric-field domain. At the same time, their dynamical behavior is akin to the one of an extended excitable system: an appropriate finite disturbance of the unique stable fixed point may cause a large excursion in phase space before returning to the stable state and trigger pulses and wave trains. The voltage bias constraint causes new waves to be nucleated when old ones reach the contact.
