We consider the magnetic response of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with a spin-orbit interaction to a long-wave-length electromagnetic excitation. We observe that the transverse electric field creates spin polarization perpendicular…

Full quantum-mechanical description of electrons moving in 3D structures with unidirectional periodic modulation subject to tilted magnetic fields requires an extensive numerical calculation. To understand magneto-oscillations in such…
Using a hydrodynamic approach, we show that charge diffusion in two dimensional Coulomb interacting liquids with broken momentum conservation is intrinsically anomalous. The charge relaxation is governed by an overdamped, superdiffusive…
In mesoscopic systems to study the role of inelastic scattering on the phase coherent motion of electrons two phenomenological models have been proposed. In the first one, due to B\"uttiker, one adds a voltage probe into the system (or in…
We use the high sensitivity to magnetic flux of mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in large quantum dots to investigate changes in the two-dimensional electron dispersion caused by an in-plane magnetic field. In particular, changes in…
