ELECTROMAGNETIC-WAVE EFFECTS ON ELECTRON-PHONON SCATTERING IN SEMICONDUCTOR QUANTUM WIRES

The dissipative electron transport in the free-standing semiconductor wire in the presence of electromagnetic wave is considered. The non-Ma rkovian Langevin-like equations describing both kinetics and fluctuati ons of an electron are obtained. It is shown that in the 1D case elect romagnetic wave influences on electron-phonon interaction drastically that increases the electron mobility. Phonon emission spectrum and ene rgy loss rate are found. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res erved.
