Nonlinear spatio-temporal dynamics and chaos in semiconductors / Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Dynamics & Chaos in Semiconductors Eckehard Schöll. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2000. - 1 online resource (xiii, 406 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - Cambridge nonlinear science series ; 10 . - Cambridge nonlinear science series ; 10. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Semiconductors as continuous nonlinear dynamic systems -- Concepts of nonlinear charge transport in semiconductors -- Pattern formation and oscillatory instabilities in semiconductors -- Impact-ionization-induced impurity breakdown -- Nonlinear carrier dynamics in crossed electric and magnetic fields -- Stationary and oscillating domains in superlattices -- Spatio-temporal chaos. Ch. 1. Ch. 2. Ch. 3. Ch. 4. Ch. 5. Ch. 6. Ch. 7.
Nonlinear transport phenomena are an increasingly important aspect of modern semiconductor research. Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Chaos in Semiconductors deals with complex nonlinear dynamics, pattern formation, and chaotic behaviour in such systems. In doing so it bridges the gap between two well-established fields: the theory of dynamic systems, and nonlinear charge transport in semiconductors. This unified approach is used to consider important electronic transport instabilities. The initial chapters lay a general framework for the theoretical description of nonlinear self-organized spatio-temporal patterns, like current filaments, field domains, fronts, and analysis of their stability. Later chapters consider important model systems in detail: impact ionization induced impurity breakdown, Hall instabilities, superlattices, and low-dimensional structures. State-of-the-art results include chaos control, spatio-temporal chaos, multistability, pattern selection, activator-inhibitor kinetics, and global coupling, linking fundamental issues to electronic device applications. This book will be of great value to semiconductor physicists and nonlinear scientists alike.
