摘要
We observed the transverse magnetic field induced transition from static to dynamic electric field domain formation in doped GaAs/AlAs superlattices. A dynamic dc voltage band was found emerging from each sawtooth-like branch of the current-voltage characteristics in the transition process. Within each dynamic dc voltage band at a fixed magnetic field the current self-oscillation frequency was increased while the average current was decreased. These results were explained by a general analysis of stability of the sequential tunneling current in superlattices.
