We study an electron distribution under a quasiperiodic potential in light of hyperuniformity, aiming to establish a classification and analysis method for aperiodic but orderly density distributions realized in, e.g., quasicrystals. Using…

This paper presents an analytical study of the coexistence of different transport regimes in quasi-one-dimensional surface-disordered waveguides (or electron conductors). To elucidate main features of surface scattering, the case of two…

Quasi-one-dimensional transition-metal chalcogenide Ta$_2$PdSe$_6$ is a promising thermoelectric semimetal due to the strong electron-hole asymmetry in the carrier lifetime. However, the microscopic origin of such a strong asymmetry remains…

We show that resonant electron transport in semiconductor superlattices with an applied electric and tilted magnetic field can, surprisingly, become more pronounced as the lattice and conduction electron temperature increases from 4.2 K to…

A common wisdom posits that transports of conserved quantities across clean nonintegrable quantum systems at high temperatures are diffusive when probed from the emergent hydrodynamic regime. We show that this empirical paradigm may alter…

We argue that spin-sensitive quasiparticle scattering may generate electron-hole imbalance in superconducting structures, such as, e.g., superconducting-normal hybrids with spin-active interfaces. We elucidate a transparent physical…

The transport properties of micrometer scale structures fabricated from high-mobility HgTe quantum-wells have been investigated. A special photoresist and Ti masks were used, which allow for the fabrication of devices with characteristic…

Experimental studies of electron mobilities in Neon as a function of the gas density have persistently shown mobilities up to an order of magnitude smaller than expected and predicted. A previously ignored mechanism (gas in--homogeneity…

The exploration of the rich dynamics of electrons is a frontier in fundamental nano-physics. The dynamical behavior of electrons is dominated by random and chaotic thermal motion with ultrafast ($\approx$ ps) and nanoscale scatterings. This…

We study nonlinear transport and non-equilibrium current noise in quasi-classical point contacts (PCs) defined in a low-density high-quality two-dimensional electron system in GaAs. At not too high bias voltages $V$ across the PC the noise…

We theoretically investigate the electron transport properties for a semiconductor quantum wire containing a single finite-size attractive impurity under an external terahertz electromagnetic field illumination in the ballistic limit.…

Electron scattering will provide the most direct information about charge distribution in exotic nuclei. A technical proposal for an electron-heavy-ion collider has been incorporated in the GSI/Germany physics program (spokesperson: Haik…

We consider theoretically the electronic structure of quasi-two and quasi-one-dimensional heterostructures comprised of III-V and II-VI semiconductors such as InAs/GaInSb and HgCdTe. We show that not only a Dirac-like dispersion exists in…

The distribution of nearest-neighbour spacings of Coulomb blockade oscillation peaks in normal conducting aluminum single electron transistors is found to be non-Gaussian. A pronounced tail to reduced spacings is observed, which we…

We perform a first-principles investigation of electron-phonon interactions in silicon and germanium, uncovering distinct non-polaronic spectral and transport fingerprints in these archetypal covalent semiconductors. Using many-body…

We demonstrate experimentally non-equilibrium transport in unipolar quasi-1D hot electron devices reaching ballistic limit. The devices are realized with heterostructure engineering in nanowires to obtain dopant- and dislocation-free…

The transition metal chalcogenide Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$ undergoes a second-order phase transition at $T_c=328$ K involving a small lattice distortion. Below $T_c$, a band gap at the center of its Brillouin zone increases up to about 0.35 eV. In…

We present a numerical investigation of energy and charge distributions during electron-beam-induced growth of W nanostructures on SiO2 substrates using Monte Carlo simulation of electron transport. This study gives a quantitative insight…

We present a scattering-state description for the non-equilibrium multichannel charge transport in the presence of electron-vibration couplings. It is based on an expansion of scattering orders of eigenchannel states. Examining charge…

Strongly interacting electrons can move in a neatly coordinated way, reminiscent of the movement of viscous fluids. Here we show that in viscous flows interactions facilitate transport, allowing conductance to exceed the fundamental…
