Ultrafast strain-induced charge transport in semiconductor superlattices

We investigate the effect of hypersonic (> 1 GHz) acoustic phonon wavepackets on electron transport in a semiconductor superlattice. Our quantum mechanical simulations demonstrate that a GHz train of picosecond deformation strain pulses propagating through a superlattice can generate current osci...
