is that electrons can be reflected many times within a superlattice sample just
like light inside a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The resultant interference of the
electron wave under a dc applied field can give rise to high frequency oscillations
known as Bloch oscillations.
The following list contains references to some of the theoretical and experimental
papers related to quantum transport of charged carriers in semiconductors
and metals. Additional references on more recent work including carbon
nanotubes and graphene can be found in the updated references for Chapter 9.
