Freely suspended metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) exhibit reduced current carrying ability compared to those lying on substrates, and striking negative differential conductance (NDC) at low electric fields. Theoretical analysis…
We report a combined theoretical and experimental study of electrical transport in weakly-coupled doped superlattices. Our calculations exhibit negative differential conductivity at sufficiently high electric fields for all dopings. In…
We overview mechanisms of absolute negative conductivity in two-dimensional electron systems in a magnetic field irradiated with microwaves and provide plausible explanations of the features observed in recent experiments related to the…
We study the traversal times of electromagnetic pulses across dispersive media with negative dielectric permittivity ($\varepsilon$) and magnetic permeability ($\mu$) parameters. First we investigate the transport of optical pulses through…
We simulate and discuss novel spatio-temporal propagation effects that relate specifically to pulsed, phase-mismatched second harmonic generation in a negative index material having finite length. Using a generic Drude model for the…
A suspended, doubly clamped single wall carbon nanotube is characterized as driven nano-electromechanical resonator at cryogenic temperatures. Electronically, the carbon nanotube displays small bandgap behaviour with Coulomb blockade…
Nonequilibrium electron distribution in a superlattice subjected to a homogeneous electric field (biased superlattice with equipopulated levels) is studied within the tight-binding approximation, taking into account the scattering by…
Engineering quantum phases using light is a novel route to designing functional materials, where light-induced superconductivity is a successful example. Although this phenomenon has been realized experimentally, especially for the…
An electron-phonon system at commensurate filling often displays charge order (CO) in the ground state. Such a system subject to a laser pulse shows a wide variety of behaviour. A weak pulse sets up low amplitude oscillations in the order…
Experimental evidence for a transient enhancement of the superconducting critical temperature in presence of an intense THz or IR pump pulse was ascribed to nonlinear phononics effects. Here I introduce a simple phenomenological…
In this paper, we analyze vibration-assisted sequential tunneling (including current-voltage characteristics and zero-frequency shot noise) through a molecular quantum dot with two electronic orbitals asymmetrically coupled to the internal…
We report on anomalous conductance in a resistively and capacitively shunted Josephson junction which is simultaneously driven by ac and dc currents. The dependence of the voltage across the junction on the frequency of the ac current shows…
We propose a theoretical model of a ferroelectric metal where spontaneous electric polarization coexists with the conducting electrons. In our model we adopt a scenario when conducting electrons interact with two soft transverse optical…
We study the dynamics of an electron weakly coupled to a phonon gas. The initial state of the electron is the superposition of two spatially localized distant bumps moving towards each other, and the phonons are in a thermal state. We…
The influence of electronic structure evolution upon pressure on the temperature dependencies of electrical resistivity of pure Np, Pu, Am, and Cm metals have been investigated within coherent potential approximation (CPA) for many-bands…
We show that electron drag by nonequilibrium phonons describes the actual waveform and spectrum of terahertz pulses generated during femtosecond laser irradiation of metals. In contrast to previous models, there is a picosecond delay in the…
We investigate the dynamical effects of electron-phonon coupling (EPC) on the superconducting properties of two-dimensional (2D) systems, calculating the Eliashberg function in terms of dynamically renormalized phonons. By studying…
We consider the well-known phonon scattering induced high-temperature linear-in-$T$ metallic resistivity, showing that a naive extrapolation of the effective linearity from high temperatures to $T=0$ leads to an apparent zero-temperature…
Electron-electron thermalization and electron-phonon relaxation processes in laser-excited solids are often assumed to occur on different timescales. This is true for the majority of the conduction band electrons in a metal. However,…
We show that thermal equilibrium between conduction electrons and phonons becomes kinetically unstable when the renormalized electron-phonon coupling exceeds a certain threshold. We prove that negative electronic specific heat,…
