The double barrier resonant tunneling diode exhibits complex spatio-temporal
patterns including low-dimensional chaos when operated in an active external
circuit. We demonstrate how autosynchronization by time--delayed feedback
control can be used to select and stabilize specific current density patterns
in a noninvasive way. We compare the efficiency of different control schemes
involving feedback in either local spatial or global degrees of freedom. The
numerically obtained Floquet exponents are explained by analytical results from
linear stability analysis.Comment: 10 pages, 16 figure
