Abstract
We study the growth rates of current‐driven plasma waves in semiconductor layered systems. We compare amplification performance of different layered systems, as well as investigate in detail the effects of various material parameters on the growth rates. This analysis provides guidelines for selecting the best systems for possible device applications.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
