Title :
Relaxation instability in Quantum Wire

Nanoelectron. TD, Korolev, Russia
Abstract :
It is shown that the nonequilibrium quantum effects caused by charge transport through boundaries of contact areas and the conductive channel of Quantum Wire can lead to instability and to negative differential resistance of the device. These phenomena open prospect of application of Quantum Wire for generation of terahertz range electromagnetic waves.
