Polarization selectivity of light-field-induced charge localization was investigated in an organic metal alpha-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 with a triangular lattice. Dependences of transient reflectivity spectra on polarizations of the 7-fs pump and…

We use molecular dynamics simulations to understand the mechanisms of polarization switching in ferroelectric BaTiO$_3$ achieved with external electric field. For tetragonal and orthorhombic ferroelectric phases, we determine the switching…

In this work we derive a general formula for the charge pumped in a superconducting nanocircuit. Our expression generalizes previous results in several ways, it is applicable both in the adiabatic and in the non-adiabatic regimes and it…

The one-dimensional Rice-Mele lattice consisting of two-site unit cells enables topological charge pumping at low enough temperatures. We show here that energy pumping is feasible in this system. We analyze energy polarization using the…

By applying Berry-phase theory for the effective half-filled Hubbard model, we derive an analytical expression for the electronic polarization driven by the relativistic spin-orbit (SO) coupling. The model itself is constructed in the…

We show that in excitonic insulators with $s$-wave electron-hole pairing, an applied electric field (either pulsed or static) can induce a $p$-wave component to the order parameter, and further drive it to rotate in the $s+ip$ plane,…

The quantum transport in a narrow channel (NC) is studied in the presence of a time-dependent delta-profile electric field. The electric field is taken to be transversely polarized, with frequency $\omega$, causing inter-subband and…

Electron switching in waveguides coupled to a photon cavity is found to be strongly influenced by the photon energy and polarization. Therefore, the charge dynamics in the system is investigated in two different regimes, for off- and…

We have developed a general theory for a parametric pump consisting of a nonmagnetic system with two ferromagnetic leads whose magnetic moments orient at an angle $\theta$ with respect to each other. In this theory, the leads can maintain…

We use the equations of motion of non-interacting electrons in a one-dimensional system to numerically study different aspects of charge pumping. We study the effects of the pumping frequency, amplitude, band filling and finite bias on the…

In quantum Hall edge states and in other one-dimensional interacting systems, charge fractionalization can occur due to the fact that an injected charge pulse decomposes into eigenmodes propagating at different velocities. If the original…

We formulate a scattering theory of polarization and heat transport through a ballistic ferroelectric point contact. We predict a polarization current under either an electric field or a temperature difference that depends strongly on the…

We investigate charge pumping in carbon nanotube quantum dots driven by the electric field of a surface acoustic wave. We find that at small driving amplitudes, the pumped current reverses polarity as the conductance is tuned through a…

We consider ferroelectric phase transitions in both short-circuited and biased ferroelectric-semiconductor films with a space (depletion) charge which leads to some unusual behavior. It is shown that in the presence of the charge the…

We consider the millimeter-wave electrodynamics specific to quasi-two-dimensional conductors and superconductors based on the organic donor molecule BEDT-TTF. Using realistic physical parameters, we examine the current polarizations that…

We review recent theoretical calculations of charge transfer through mesoscopic devices in response to slowly-oscillating, spatially-confined, potentials. The discussion is restricted to non-interacting electrons, and emphasizes the role of…

A conceptual problem of the electric-field mediated polarization correlations during a stochastic formation of polarization domain structure in ferroelectrics is addressed by using an exactly solvable stochastic model of polarization…

The sharply quantized transport observed in the integer quantum Hall effect can be explained via a simple one-dimensional model with a time-periodic, adiabatically varying potential in which electronic charge is pumped from one side of the…

We investigate the parametric electron pumping of a double barrier structure in the presence of a superconducting lead. The parametric pumping is facilitated by cyclic variation of the barrier heights $x_1$ and $x_2$ of the barriers. In the…

Quantum pumping through mesoscopic quantum dots is known to be enhanced by resonant transmission. The pumped charge is close to an integer number of electrons when the pumping contour surrounds a resonance, but the transmission remains…
