Abstract

The comprehensive study of the terahertz electroluminescence caused by the Bloch oscillations of the electrons in the natural superlattices of 8H-, 6H-SiC with strong electrical field applied along the natural superlattices axis is represented. The electroluminescence spectra become much broader when the bias field exceeds substantially the threshold field of the Bloch oscillations. This spectral broadening can be explained by an appearance of a new spectral line that is much wider and its maximum is localized at higher energy than lines induced by Bloch oscillations. This line has no link with the Bloch oscillations mechanism and it is a result of the presumed changes in the SiC conduction band with complex electron spectrum structure by applied electrical field.
