Abstract
Electron transport in a superlattice miniband with dissipative and ran dom environments is considered oz the basis of a general theory of ope n quantum systems. We obtain the analytical dependence of the electron drift velocity on applied electric field, which contains a region wit h negative differential conductivity. The results are compared with ex perimental data and the predictions of other theories.
