Phase controllable dynamical localization: a generalization of the Dunlap-Kenkre result
Abstract
Dunlap-Kenkre result states that Dynamical Localization (DL) of a field driven quantum particle in a discrete periodic lattice happens when the ratio of the field magnitude to the field frequency (say, ) of the diagonal sinusoidal drive is a root of the ordinary Bessel function of order 0. This has been experimentally verified. A generalization of the Dunlap-Kenkre result is presented here. We analytically show that if we have an off-diagonal driving field (with modulation ) and diagonal driving field with different frequencies (say and respectively) and a definite phase relationship between them, one can obtain DL if (1) is a zero of the Bessel function of order 0 and is an odd multiple of for equal and driving frequencies, (2) is a zero of the Bessel function of order 0 and is an integer multiple of including zero for , and (3) and is not a zero of the Bessel function of the even order .
