Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the dynamical aspects of high speed switching between different stable states in bistable circuits containing quantum well devices with negative differential resistance is presented. A variational calculus method is introduced to obtain the minimal energy dissipation required for a given switching time. Results are presented for individual heterojunction double barrier diode and for pairs of heterojunction double barrier diodes which are connected in series.
