We investigate the electron states in double asymmetric $\rm{HgTe/Cd_{x}Hg_{1-x}Te}$ quantum wells grown along the $[001]$ direction. The subbands are computed by means of the envelope function approximation applied to the 8-band Kane…
We demonstrate mesoscopic transport through quantum states in quasi-1D lattices maintaining the combination of parity and time-reversal symmetries by controlling energy gain and loss. We investigate the phase diagram of the non-Hermitian…
We analyze the eigenstates of a two-dimensional lattice with additional harmonic confinement in the presence of an artificial magnetic field. While the softness of the confinement makes a distinction between bulk and edge states difficult,…
Quantized transport is a prominent feature in topological physics, with canonical examples being the quantum Hall effect and adiabatic Thouless pump, which are based on the Chern number, a topological invariant of 2D systems. Going beyond…
Theories describing electrical transport in semiconductor superlattices can essentially be divided in three disjoint categories: i) transport in a miniband; ii) hopping between Wannier-Stark ladders; and iii) sequential tunneling. We…

Altermagnetic crystals resemble antiferromagnets in that they have no macroscopic magnetization, but unlike antiferromagnets they exhibit spin-split band structures. Here the transport properties of altermagnetic quantum dots and their…
A one-dimensional system with two $\delta$-like barriers or wells bi-chromaticaly oscillating at frequencies $\omega$ and $2\omega$ is considered. The alternating signal leads to the direct current across the structure (even in a symmetric…
