Comparative study of Terahertz generation in wide band gap bulk semiconductors
In this paper, the conditions for microwave power generation caused by the quasi-periodic motion of carriers under the combined action of carrier acceleration in a constant electric field and optical phonon emission at low temperatures are analysed by Monte Carlo simulations of both small- and large-signal responses in bulk nitrides such as InN, GaN and AlN. The results show that due to strong carrier-phonon interaction bulk nitrides are promising materials for THz radiation generation.
