TEMPERATURE EFFECT ON DRIFT VELOCITY OF ELECTRONS IN SUPERLATTICE IN ELECTRIC AND TILTED MAGNETIC FIELDS

The work studies the effects of temperature on drift velocity of the electrons in semiconductor superlattices in electric and tilted magnetic fields. It is shown that a thermal distribution of the electrons can counter­intuitively enhance the phenomena related to resonances between the Bloch and the cyclotron frequencies of electron motion in superlattices. In particular, the increase of temperature leads to more prominent resonant maxima in the dependence of drift velocity of electrons on the strength of an electric field.
