Abstract

The random-phase-approximation equation for determining collective excitations in a semiconductor superlattice is obtained, in which overlap of wave functions between adjacent layers has been included. Through a simple example we find, in addition to the usual intrasubband plasmon, that there exists a new collective mode in such a system.
