Abstract

A mathematical model for describing the collective dynamics of charge carriers in a semiconductor superlattice with ohmic emitter and collector contacts is proposed. The model is based on a hydrodynamic description of electron transport. The effect the emitter and collector characteristics have on the oscillation regimes observed in this system is analyzed using the proposed approach.
