A semi-classicai theon, of the non-linear miniband condLction n crossed electric and magnetic fields is presented The Bo.tzmann transport equation is solved with realrstic scattering mechanisms. i.e. electron-phonon scartering and interface potent al fluctuat;ons. The technique conssts of a characteristic solation of tne electron dynamics along tne free trajectories associated with an terative convergent algorithm. The main effect of the transverse magnetic field is interpreted n the frame of the Esaki-Tsu model by the modification of the free trajectories by the Lorentz force which repels t h e onset of Bragg scattering to higher electric f elds A direct comparison W th experimentalcurrent-voltage data is performed in taking into account the electric field inhomogeneity.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
