It is known that when strong electric field is applied to a semiconductor sample, the current voltage characteristic deviates from the linear response. In this letter, we propose a new point of view of nonlinearity in semiconductors which is associated with the electron temperature dependence on the recombination rate. The heating of the charge carriers breaks the balance between generation and recombination, giving rise to nonequilibrium charge carriers concentration and nonlinearity.

In this paper, we present a collection of results focussing on the transport properties of doped direct-gap inverted-band highly polar III-nitride semiconductors (GaN, AlN, InN) and GaAs in the transient and steady state, calculated by using nonlinea
r quantum kinetic theory based on a non-equilibrium statistical ensemble formalism (NESEF). In the present paper, these results are compared with calculations usingMonteCarlo modelling simulations and experimental measurements. Both n-type and p-type materials, in the presence of intermediate to high electric fields, are considered for several temperatures and carrier concentrations.The agreement between the results obtained using nonlinear quantum kinetic theory, with those ofMonte Carlo calculations and experimental data is remarkably good, thus satisfactorily validating the NESEF.
The potential of semiconductors assembled from nanocrystals (NC semiconductors) has been demonstrated for a broad array of electronic and optoelectronic devices, including transistors, light emitting diodes, solar cells, photodetectors, thermoelectri
cs, and phase charge memory cells. Despite the commercial success of nanocrystals as optical absorbers and emitters, applications involving charge transport through NC semiconductors have eluded exploitation due to the inability for predictive control of their electronic properties. Here, we perform large-scale, ab-initio simulations to understand carrier transport, generation, and trapping in NC-based semiconductors from first principles. We use these findings to build the first predictive model for charge transport in NC semiconductors, which we validate experimentally. Our work reveals that we have been thinking about transport in NC semiconductors incorrectly. Our new insights provide a path for systematic engineering of NC semiconductors, which in fact offer previously unexplored opportunities for tunability not achievable in other semiconductor systems.
We report on the impact of nonlinear four-magnon scattering on magnon transport in microstructured Co25Fe75 waveguides with low magnetic damping. We determine the magnon propagation length with microfocused Brillouin light scattering over a broad ran
ge of excitation powers and detect a decrease of the attenuation length at high powers. This is consistent with the onset of nonlinear four-magnon scattering. Hence, it is critical to stay in the linear regime, when deriving damping parameters from the magnon propagation length. Otherwise, the intrinsic nonlinearity of magnetization dynamics may lead to a misinterpretation of magnon propagation lengths and, thus, to incorrect values of the magnetic damping of the system.
The thermoelectric efficiency of semiconductors is usually considered in the ohmic electronic transport regime, which is achieved through high doping. Here we consider the opposite regime of low doping where the current-voltage characteristics are no
nlinear and dominated by space-charge-limited transport. We show that in this regime, the thermoelectric efficiency can be described by a single figure of merit, in analogy with the ohmic case. Efficiencies for bulk, thin film, and nanowire materials are discussed, and it is proposed that nanowires are the most promising to take advantage of space-charge-limited transport for thermoelectrics.
We present a detailed experimental and theoretical analysis of the spin dynamics of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in a series of n-doped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. Picosecond-resolution polarized pump-probe reflection techniques were applied
in order to study in detail the temperature-, concentration- and quantum-well-width- dependencies of the spin relaxation rate of a small photoexcited electron population. A rapid enhancement of the spin life-time with temperature up to a maximum near the Fermi temperature of the 2DEG was demonstrated experimentally. These observations are consistent with the Dyakonov-Perel spin relaxation mechanism controlled by electron-electron collisions. The experimental results and theoretical predictions for the spin relaxation times are in good quantitative agreement.
