Coherent carrier dynamics in semiconductor superlattices

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We investigate the coherent dynamics of carriers in semiconductor superlattices driven by ac-dc electric fields. We solve numerically the time-dependent effective-mass equation for the envelope function. We find that carriers undergo Rabi oscillations when the driving frequency is close to the separation between minibands.
