Understanding the effects of nonequilibrium on strongly interacting quantum systems is a challenging problem in condensed matter physics. In dimensions greater than one, interacting electrons can often be understood within Fermi-liquid…
Interactions between mesoscopic devices induced by interface acoustic phonons propagating in the plane of a two-dimensional electron system (2DES) are investigated by phonon-spectroscopy. In our experiments ballistic electrons injected from…
We present the theoretical model of the "quantum ammeter", a device that is able to measure the full counting statistics of an electron current at quantum time scales. It consists of an Ohmic contact, perfectly coupled to chiral quantum…
Low-dimensional semiconductors have been widely exploited in thermoelectric energy conversion for high efficiencies due to their suppressed lattice thermal conduction, sharply defined electronic density of states, and tunable…
We investigate the time dependent thermal relaxation of a two-dimensional electron system in the fractional quantum Hall regime where ballistic phonons are used to heat up the system to a non-equilibrium temperature. The thermal relaxation…
Controlling energy flows in solids through switchable electron-lattice cooling can grant access to a range of interesting and potentially useful energy transport phenomena. Here we discuss a unique switchable electron-lattice cooling…
We present here a microscopic two-band model based on the structure of energetic levels of holes in $\mathrm{CuO}_{2}$ conducting layers of cuprates. We prove that two energetically near-lying interacting bands can explain the electron-hole…
We study the zero-temperature phase diagram and fractional excitation when a thin film of 3D topological insulator has two competing masses: T- symmetric exciton condensation and T- breaking Zeeman effect. Two topologically distinct phases…
Electron holes (EH) are localized modes in plasma kinetic theory which appear as vortices in phase space. Earlier research on EH is based on the Schamel distribution function (df). A novel distribution function is proposed here,…
Ultrashort light pulses can selectively excite charges, spins and phonons in materials, providing a powerful approach for manipulating their properties. Here we use femtosecond laser pulses to coherently manipulate the electron and phonon…
Inter-edge channel interactions in the quantum Hall regime at filling factor nu= 2 are analyzed within a plasmon scattering formalism. We derive analytical expressions for energy redistribution amongst edge channels and for high frequency…
Electrons moving in a conductor can transfer momentum to the lattice via collisions with impurities and boundaries, giving rise to a fluctuating mechanical stress tensor. The root-mean-squared momentum transfer per scattering event in a…
We model the quantum electron transfer (ET) in the photosynthetic reaction center (RC), using a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian approach. Our model includes (i) two protein cofactors, donor and acceptor, with discrete energy levels and (ii) a…
Electrical and thermal conductances of a quantum Hall bar reflect the topological structure of the incompressible bulk phase. Here we show that noise of electrical current carried through the edge evidences the interplay between these two…
Efficient electroluminescence of silicon light emitting p-n diodes with different sizes and shapes is investigated at room temperature. High quantum efficiency of the diodes, a long linear dependence of the electroluminescence intensity on…
Spins in semiconductor quantum dots are promising local quantum memories to generate polarization-encoded photonic cluster states, as proposed in the pioneering Rudolph-Lindner scheme [1]. However, harnessing the polarization degree of…
We study the characteristics of photogenerated electron-hole plasma in optically pumped graphene layers at elevated (room) temperatures when the interband and intraband processes of emission and absorption of optical phonons play a crucial…
The optical response of nonparabolic quantum wells is dominated by a strong peak at the plasmon frequency. When the electrons reach the anharmonic regions, resonant absorption becomes inefficient. This limitation is overcome by using a…
A simple scheme of population and detection of low-lying electronic quadrupole modes in free small deformed metal clusters is proposed. The scheme is analyzed in terms of the TDLDA (time-dependent local density approximation) calculations.…
Dynamics of optically-excited plasmonic nanoparticles are presently understood as a series of sequential scattering events, involving thermalization processes after pulsed optical excitation. One important step is the initiation of…
