Nonlinear Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Chaos in Semiconductors Hardback

Part of the Cambridge Nonlinear Science Series series

Description
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.
