One originates from the classical effect of bunching of cyclotron orbits of electrons passing back and forth across the p-n interface, which displays a pronounced dependence on the commensurability between the cyclotron radii in the n- and p-regions. The other effect is caused by the interference of monochromatic electron waves in p-n junctions with equal carrier densities on the two sides and it consists in magneto-oscillations in the current transmission through the interface with periodicity similar to Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-06-17T12:51:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "72.80.Vp", "73.40.Lq", "73.43.Qt" ], "keywords": [ "current flow", "quantum magneto-oscillations", "shubnikov-de haas oscillations", "equal carrier densities", "ballistic p-n junction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2012, "month": "Aug", "volume": 86, "number": 8, "pages": "081413" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..86h1413P" } } }
