摘要
The effect of negative absolute conductivity in quasi-one-dimensional quantum wire structures is obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation. This negative conductivity is associated with inelastic optical phonon scattering leading to an asymmetric electron distribution function established under conditions of intensive electron photoinjection. Simulation results suggest that quantum wires are ideal for the experimental observation of negative absolute conductivity. The oscillations of photoconductivity as a function of injection energy can reveal the spectrum of optical phonons in quantum wires which differs considerably from that in bulk materials.
