Abstract

The motion of charge particles in a superlattice structure subject to the crossed magnetic and electric fields, both applied in the in-plane direction, is discussed with respect to the novel type of terahertz oscillations suggested recently, [M. Orlita, R.

Grill, L. Smrcka, M.

Zvara, Phys. Rev.

B 74 (2006) 125312]. The effects of the finite size of the superlattice is considered in comparison with the standard Bloch oscillations.
