Abstract
Boltzmann's equation is solved for electrons in a one‐dimensional superlattice under the influence of a uniform electric field; an energy independent scattering time and nonspherical energy bands are assumed. The current density‐electric field characteristic shows negative differential conductivity at fields of 103−104 V/cm independent of the detailed shape of the minibands.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
