摘要
We propose a mechanism for negative differential conductance in nanometric single barrier heterostructures when transport is controlled by tunneling processes and space charge effects. Theoretical expectations are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations of a model GaAs-GaAlAs-GaAs semiconductor heterostructure. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
