We report unexpected classical and quantum dynamics of a wave propagating in a periodic potential in high Brilloiun zones. Branched flow appears at wavelengths shorter than the typical length scale of the ordered periodic structure and for…
Spatio-temporal chaos is predicted to occur in n-doped semiconductor superlattices with sequential resonant tunneling as their main charge transport mechanism. Under dc voltage bias, undamped time-dependent oscillations of the current (due…
Self-sustained time-dependent current oscillations under dc voltage bias have been observed in recent experiments on n-doped semiconductor superlattices with sequential resonant tunneling. The current oscillations are caused by the motion…
We consider the motion of ballistic electrons within a superlattice miniband under the influence of an alternating electric field. We show that the interaction of electrons with the self-consistent electromagnetic field generated by the…
Ultracold atoms in optical lattices offer a unique platform for investigating disorder-driven phenomena. While static disordered site potentials have been explored in a number of optical lattice experiments, a more general control over…
Weakly coupled semiconductor superlattices under dc voltage bias are nonlinear systems with many degrees of freedom whose nonlinearity is due to sequential tunneling of electrons. They may exhibit spontaneous chaos at room temperature and…
In generic Hamiltonian systems that are neither completely integrable nor fully chaotic, phase space consists of a mixture of regular and chaotic components. In classical dynamics, transitions between different invariant sets in phase space…
Interactions between stacked two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystals can radically change their properties, leading to essentially new materials in terms of the electronic structure. Here we show that monolayers placed on an atomically flat…
We theoretically study electron transport in disordered, quantum-well based, semiconductor superlattices with structural short-range correlations. Our system consists of equal width square barriers and quantum wells with two different…
We investigate electron quantum transport through nano-wires with one-sided surface roughness in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Exponentially diverging localization lengths are found in the quantum-to-classical crossover…
We investigate the dynamic behavior of lattices with disorder introduced through non-local network connections. Inspired by the Watts-Strogatz small-world model, we employ a single parameter to determine the probability of local connections…
Stacking two layers of graphene with a relative twist angle gives rise to moir\'e patterns, which can strongly modify electronic behavior and may lead to unconventional superconductivity. A synthetic version of twisted bilayers can be…
We investigate quantum tunneling phenomena for an optical lattice subjected to a bichromatic ac force. We show that incommensurability of the frequencies leads to super Bloch oscillation. We propose directed super Bloch oscillation for the…
The field of quantum simulation, which aims at using a tunable quantum system to simulate another, has been developing fast in the past years as an alternative to the all-purpose quantum computer. In particular, the use of temporal driving…
The competition of magnetic exchange interactions and tunneling underlies many complex quantum phenomena observed in real materials. We study non-equilibrium magnetization dynamics in an extended 2D system by loading effective spin-1/2…
We analyze the dynamical evolution of the current and the charge density in a superlattice for fixed external dc voltage in the regime of self-sustained current oscillations, using a microscopic sequential tunneling model. Fronts of…
We study quantum-mechanical tunneling in mixed dynamical systems between symmetry-related phase space tori separated by a chaotic layer. Considering e.g. the annular billiard we decompose tunneling-related energy splittings and shifts into…
Weakly coupled semiconductor superlattices under dc voltage bias are excitable systems with many degrees of freedom that may exhibit spontaneous chaos at room temperature and act as fast physical random number generator devices.…
We study the dynamical behavior of disordered quantum-well-based semiconductor superlattices where the disorder is intentional and short-range correlated. We show that, whereas the transmission time of a particle grows exponentially with…
The flux line lattice of superconductors has been investigated when there exists a periodicity in the underlying system, such as can occur in artificially layered structures. For small fields parallel to the layers the flux lines enter the…
