Shot noise suppression in double barrier resonant tunnelling diodes with a Fano factor well below the value of 0.5 is theoretically predicted. This giant suppression is found to be a signature of the coherent transport regime and can occur near zero temperature as a consequence of the Pauli principle or above about 77 K as a consequence of long range Coulomb interaction. These predictions are validated by exper...
Shot noise suppression below 1/2 of the full Poisson value in double barrier resonant diodes is confirmed to be a signature of coherent rather than sequential tunnelling transport. We reply to the arguments of the previous comment which dispute the above claim. We anticipate the development of a rigorous theory that improves previous approaches without contradicting the essential findings we recently reported (...
We implement a quantum approach which includes long range Coulomb interaction and investigate current voltage characteristics and shot noise in double-barrier resonant diodes. The theory applies to the region of low applied voltages up to the region of the current peak and considers the wide temperature range from zero to room temperature. The shape of the current voltage characteristic is well reproduced and w...
Shot noise suppression in double barrier resonant tunnelling diodes with a Fano factor well below the value of 0.5 is theoretically predicted. This giant suppression is found to be a signature of coherent transport regime and can occur at zero temperature as a consequence of the Pauli principle or at sufficiently high temperatures above 77 K as a consequence of a long-range Coulomb interaction. These prediction...
The impedance of InGaAlAs resonance-tunnel heterostructures used for modulation of optical radiation is experimentally studied in the frequency range from 45 to 18 MHz. The dependence of their equivalent circuit on the bias voltage is determined. The spectrum of the harmonics of the current in the resistive frequency multiplication in such structures is calculated. The results confirm that these structures are ...
High speed Optoelectronic modulation using the resonant tunnelling characteristics by interaction of a resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) in the middle of an unipolar ridge optical waveguide based on the GaAs/AlGaAs system is investigated. This interaction of an RTD within an optical waveguide introduces high non-linearities into the electrical characteristics of the waveguide by inducing large electric field chan...
