Abstract
The current-voltage characteristics of an asymmetric double barrier resonant tunneling device show a butterfly-shaped hysteresis loop in which, for a range of voltage, the off-resonant current exceeds the resonant current. This “inverted bistability” is due to the effects of space charge buildup in the quantum well. Magnetoquantum oscillations in the tunnel current with B | J are used to investigate the distribution of charge within the device and the intersubband scattering processes which control the charge buildup.
