✦ Synopsis

We present the first measurements of the effect of nonequilibrium phonons on the tunnel current in a weakly coupled GaAs/AlAs superlattice. The phonon-induced current has a maximum at a bias voltage which varies linearly with phonon source temperature at both zero and applied magnetic fields (B = 6 T). We attribute these results to assisted tunnelling by stimulated phonon emission and show that this system can be used as a phonon spectrometer.

Correction factors exist to allow for the dramatic effect that temperature has on nerve conduction study parameters. However, these are based on normal nerves in normal individuals and may not be appropriate in the diseased nerve setting. Our clinical study showed that in carpal tunnel syndrome, the
