Non-perturbation theory of electronic dynamic conductivity for two-barrier resonance tunnel nano-structure
Abstract
The non-perturbation theory of electronic dynamic conductivity for open two-barrier resonance tunnel structure is established for the first time within the model of rectangular potentials and different effective masses of electrons in the elements of nano-structure and the wave function linear over the intensity of electromagnetic field. It is proven that the results of the theory of dynamic conductivity, developed earlier in weak signal approximation within the perturbation method, qualitatively and quantitatively correlate with the obtained results. The advantage of non-perturbation theory is that it can be extended to the case of electronic currents interacting with strong electromagnetic fields in open multi-shell resonance tunnel nano-structures, as active elements of quantum cascade lasers and detectors.
