The motion of overdamped particles in a one-dimensional spatially-periodic potential is considered. The potential is also randomly-fluctuating in time, due to multiplicative colored noise terms, and has a deterministic tilt. Numerical…
We consider independent electrons in a periodic crystal in their ground state, and turn on a uniform electric field at some prescribed time. We rigorously define the current per unit volume and study its properties using both linear…

The electron motion in rather strong magnetic fields (when only the lowest Landau level is populated) is considered. In this case the electron kinetic energy is frozen out and the electrons are guided by slowly varied potential. Using the…

We analyze the motion of an overdamped classical particle in a multidimensional periodic potential, driven by a weak external noise. We demonstrate that in steady-state, the presence of temporal correlations in the noise and spatial…
One-electron 3+1 and 2+1 Dirac equations are used to calculate the motion of a relativistic electron in a vacuum in the presence of an external magnetic field. First, calculations are carried on an operator level and exact analytical…
