In this work, we calculated the characteristics of a two-dimensional plasmon amplified by an active medium based on a terahertz quantum-cascade structure. It is shown that for realistic parameters of GaAs/AlGaAs structures with quantum wells (mobility 2×105 cm2V-1s-1 at an electron concentration of 5×1011 cm-2 and at temperatures up to 77 K), the gain of a two-dimensional plasmon can reach 1500 cm-1 for frequency 2.3 THz. In addition, due to the strong localization of the plasmon electric field near the quantum well, only a few cascades of the active medium are required for amplification.

The theory of field ion emission is the study of electron tunneling probability enhanced by the application of a high electric field. At subnanometer distances and kilovolt potentials, the probability of tunneling of electrons increases markedly. Field ionization of gas atoms produce atomic resolution images of the surface of the specimen, while field evaporation of surface atoms sections the specimen. Details of emission theory may be found in monographs.Field ionization (FI) is the phenomena whereby an electric field assists in the ionization of gas atoms via tunneling. The tunneling probability is a maximum at a critical distance above the surface,xc, Fig. 1. Energy is required to ionize the gas atom at xc, I, but at a value reduced by the appliedelectric field, xcFe, while energy is recovered by placing the electron in the specimen, φ. The highest ionization probability occurs for those regions on the specimen that have the highest local electric field. Those atoms which protrude from the average surfacehave the smallest radius of curvature, the highest field and therefore produce the highest ionizationprobability and brightest spots on the imaging screen, Fig. 2. This technique is called field ion microscopy (FIM).

It is found that the biaxial strain, electric field and interlayer distance can effectively modulate the electronic structure and magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures.
