摘要
The nonlinear transport properties of weakly coupled superlattices have been investigated by measuring real-time current traces and frequency spectra. Current self-oscillations are observed for the undriven system by simply applying a de voltage. Doped superlattices as well as photoexcited undoped superlattices can exhibit self-oscillations of the current. When the system is driven with an external ac voltage in addition to the de voltage, the superlattices exhibit frequency-locked, quasiperiodic, and chaotic windows as a function of the amplitude of the driving voltage.
