We present a time-domain analysis of carrier dynamics in a semiconductor superlattice with two minibands. Integration of the density-matrix equations of motion reveals a number of new features: (i) for certain values of the applied static…

Common models describing magnetotransport properties of periodically modulated two--dimensional systems often either directly start from a semiclassical approach or give results well conceivable within the semiclassical framework. Recently,…

Semiconductor superlattices are interesting for two distinct reasons: the possibility to design their structure (band-width(s),doping, etc.) gives access to a large parameter space where different physical phenomena can be explored.…

The continuum limit of a recently-proposed model for charge transport in resonant-tunneling semiconductor superlattices is analyzed. It is described by a nonlinear hyperbolic integrodifferential equation on a one-dimensional spatial…

We use an analytic perturbation expansion for the two-band system of tight binding electrons to discuss Bloch oscillations and Zener tunneling within this model. We make comparison with recent numerical results and predict analytically the…

We study a model describing electronic transport in a weakly-coupled semiconductor superlattice with a shunting side layer. Key parameters include the lateral size of the superlattice, the connectivity between the quantum wells of the…

A two miniband model for electron transport in semiconductor superlattices that includes scattering and interminiband tunnelling is proposed. The model is formulated in terms of Wigner functions in a basis spanned by Pauli matrices,…

Particle transport and localization phenomena in condensed-matter systems can be modeled using a tight-binding lattice Hamiltonian. The ideal experimental emulation of such a model utilizes simultaneous, high-fidelity control and readout of…

Electric transport in semiconductor superlattices is dominated by pronounced negative differential conductivity. In this report the standard transport theories for superlattices, i.e. miniband conduction, Wannier-Stark-hopping, and…

All the principal results of this work concern the vertical transport in generic three dimensional superlattices. In the 1st chapter we make an historical introduction, then we discuss the geometry of the problem, and the physical…

When quantized, traces of classically chaotic single particle systems include eigenvalue statistics and scars in eigenfuntions. Since 2001, many theoretical and experimental works have argued that classically chaotic single electron…

A semiclassical model of charge transport in a semiconductor superlattice is solved, using moments in the wavenumber direction and finite elements in the spatial direction (first order). The selection of numerical methods guarantees the…

We study the motion of electrons in a single miniband of a semiconductor superlattice driven by THz electric field polarized along the growth direction. We work in the semiclassical balance-equation model, including different elastic and…

Electrical transport in semiconductor superlattices is studied within a fully self-consistent quantum transport model based on nonequilibrium Green functions, including phonon and impurity scattering. We compute both the drift…

We study the transport of electrons in a Fibonacci magnetic superlattice produced on a two-dimensional electron gas modulated by parallel magnetic field stripes arranged in a Fibonacci sequence. Both the transmission coefficient and…

This work investigates the quantum transport in a narrow constriction acted upon by a finite-range transversely polarized time-dependent electric field. A generalized scattering-matrix method is developed that has incorporated a…

Semiconductor superlattices may display dispersions that are degenerate either at the zone center or zone boundary. We show that they are linear upon the wave-vector in the vicinity of the crossing point. This establishes a realisation of…

Commensurability oscillations in the magnetoresistivity of a two-dimensional electron gas in a two-dimensional lateral superlattice are studied in the framework of quasiclassical transport theory. It is assumed that the impurity scattering…

Shot noise affects differently the nonlinear electron transport in semiconductor superlattices depending on the strength of the coupling among the superlattice quantum wells. Strongly coupled superlattices can be described by a miniband…

Distribution function and current density in a one-dimensional superlattice with parabolic miniband are calculated. The current dependence on the temperature coincides with experimental data. Generalization is carried out to…
