  • Abstract
    We present the first findings of the THz emission from the ultra-narrow p-type Si quantum well confined by the superconductor (SC) δ-barriers on the n-type Si(100) surface. The EL spectra revealed by the voltage applied along the Si-QW plane appear to result from the value of the SC energy gap.
