We experimentally demonstrate quantum behavior of a macroscopic atomic spin oscillator in the acoustic frequency range. Quantum back-action of the spin measurement, ponderomotive squeezing of light, and oscillator spring softening are…
We study the impact of phonon anharmonicity on the electronic dynamics of soft materials using a nonperturbative quantum-classical approach. The method is applied to a one-dimensional model of doped organic semiconductors with low-frequency…
We describe the interaction of surface acoustic waves with electrons in an array of quantum wires, patterned out of a two dimensional electron gas. Two specific geometries are considered, in which the surface acoustic wave travels parallel,…
We present studies of quantum interference in a noise power spectrum in the system of two quantum dots (2QD) in a T-geometry. Performing the spectral decomposition we are able to separate local currents and distinguish between the intra-…
The curvature effect on the electronic states of a deformed cylindrical conducting surface of variable diameter is theoretically investigated. The quantum confinement of electrons normal to the curved surface results in an effective…
In this paper we present a theoretical analysis of the effect of magnetostriction on quantum oscillations of elastic constants in metals under strong magnetic fields. It is shown that at low temperatures a significant softening of some…
The impact of quantum fluctuations on the phase diffusion in resistively shunted superconducting quantum points subject to an external ac-voltage is studied. Based on an extension of the classical Smoluchowski equation to the quantum…
Conductance through a system consisting of a wire with side-attached quantum dots is calculated. Such geometry of the device allows to study the coexistence of quantum interference, electron correlations and their influence on conductance.…
The transmission of electrons through a non-interacting tight-binding chain with an interacting side quantum dot (QD) is analized. When the Kondo effect develops at the dot the conductance presents a wide minimum, reaching zero at the…
Acousto-electric charge conveyance induced by a surface acoustic wave is employed to dissociate photogenerated excitons. Over macroscopic distances, both electrons and holes are injected \emph{sequentially} into a remotely positioned,…
Electron relaxation, induced by acoustic phonons, is studied for coupled quantum rings in the presence of external fields, both electric and magnetic. We address the problem of a single electron in vertically coupled GaAs quantum rings.…
The effect of direct current component appearance in material with non-additive energy spectrum in the case when two electromagnetic waves with mutually transverse planes of polarization are incident normally on the surface of the sample is…
We employ the time-dependent non-crossing approximation to investigate the joint effect of strong electron-electron and electron-phonon interaction on the instantaneous conductance of a single molecule transistor which is abruply moved into…
We study acoustic-phonon-induced relaxation of charge excitations in single and tunnel-coupled quantum dots containing few confined interacting electrons. The Full Configuration Interaction approach is used to account for the…
We present the results of a numerical investigation which show the excitation of acoustoelectric modes of vibration in GaAs-based heterostructures due to sharp nano-second electric-field pulses applied across surface gates. In particular,…
The analysis of the secondary Bjerknes force between two bubbles suggests that this force is analogous to the electrostatic forces. The same analogy is suggested by the existence of a scattering cross section of an acoustic wave on a…
We have contacted single-walled carbon nanotubes after aligning the tubes by the use of surface acoustic waves. The acoustoelectric current has been measured at 4.2 K and a probing of the low-dimensional electronic states by the surface…
We examined theoretically, experimentally and numerically the origin of the acoustothermal effect using a standing surface acoustic wave actuated sessile water droplet system. Despite a wealth of experimental studies and a few recent…
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) become a popular driving source in modern condensed matter physics, but most existing theories simplify them as electric fields and ignore the non-uniform Brillouin zone folding effect. We develop a…
The ability to control electronic states at the nanoscale has contributed to our modern understanding of condensed matter. In particular, quantum dot circuits represent model systems for the study of strong electronic correlations,…
