Abstract: | We present an analytical study of wave spectra of
electro-kinetic waves propagating through semiconductor plasma, whose main
constituents are drifting electrons, holes and non-drifting negatively
charged colloids. By employing the hydrodynamical model of multi-component
plasma, a compact dispersion relation for the same is derived. This
dispersion relation is used to study slow electro-kinetic wave phenomena
and resultant instability numerically. We find some important modifications
in the wave spectra of the slow electro-kinetic branch. It is found that the
drift velocities of electrons and holes are responsible for converting two
aperiodic modes into periodic ones. The applied dc electric field increases
the phase velocities of contra-propagating modes. The amplification
coefficients of propagating modes can be optimized by tuning the amplitude
of applied electric field and wave number. It is hoped that the results of
this investigation should be useful in understanding the wave spectra of
slow electro-kinetic waves in ion-implanted semiconductor plasma subjected
to a dc electric field along the direction of wave propagation. |
