Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that electrohydrodynamic waves similar to gravity waves at the interface of two liquids can propagate in a semiconductor structure composed of two semiconductor layers with different charge carrier densities and placed in a transverse electric field. The conditions for existence of such waves are specified. The linear and nonlinear modes of wave propagation are studied.
