Abstract

High threshold drift velocities (exceeding the Fermi velocity) required in semiconductor systems to generate current-driven plasma instabilities are the primary obstacle in their experimental verification. We demonstrate the feasibility of a current-driven plasma instability in modulated lower-dimensional systems at much lower driving electric fields. We also discuss possible experimental systems where this instability could be observed.
