Novel interaction induced oscillations in correlated electron transport

Condensed Matter 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

The correlated motion of electrons in a one dimensional system with an externally applied longitudinal electric field is discussed. Within the tight binding model we show that in addition to the well known Bloch oscillations the electron-electron interaction induces time dependent oscillations of the mobility whose period depends on the strength and range of the coupling only. The oscillations involve transitions between bands of bound and unbound states. The case of two electrons is solved in detail and an extension of the results to more particles is discussed.
