Towards Experimental Verification and Device Applications of Current Driven Plasma Instabilities in Solid State Systems

Abstract

In this program, we have identified theoretically the most promising candidate for current driven plasma instabilities (CDPI) in semiconductor based systems: the modulated lower dimensional systems. We also investigated the effects of a grating coupler and a strong magnetic field on CDPI in uniform two- dimensional electron gases. Significant progress was made in pursuing the goal of experimental verification of this phenomenon in superconductor based systems. Current driven plasma instabilities, Modulated lower dimensional systems,
