Non-Linear Effects in Resonant Tunneling; Bistabilities and   Self-Sustained Oscillating Currents
  We study non-linear phenomena in double barrier heterostructures. Systems in 3D under the effect of an external magnetic field along the current and 1D systems are analyzed. Non-linearities are reflected in the I-V characteristic curve as bistabilities, instabilities and time dependent oscillations of the currents. The nature of the non-linear behavior depends upon the parameters that define the system.
