Oscillatory Instabilities and Field Domain Formation in Imperfect Superlattices
We theoretically investigate vertical high-field transport in semiconductor superlattices, which exhibit self-generated current oscillations and the formation of stable stationary electric field domains depending on the available carrier density. We demonstrate that this behavior is strongly affected by growthrelated imperfections like fluctuations of the doping density, the well and the barrie...
متن کاملMagnetic field-induced assembly of oriented superlattices from maghemite nanocubes.
Tailoring the structure of nanocrystal superlattices is an important step toward controlled design of novel nanostructured materials and devices. We demonstrate how the long-range order and macroscopic dimensions of magnetic nanoparticle arrays can be controlled by the use of a modulated magnetic field. Inducing a dipolar attraction during the initial stage of the drying-mediated self-assembly ...
متن کاملSpin instabilities in semiconductor superlattices
The subband levels of quantum wells grown in a periodic array form minibands whose bandwidth D depends on the probability of interlayer tunneling. In the presence of a strong magnetic field, this system of minibands can exhibit various Coulomb-interaction-driven spin polarization instabilities at an integral value of the filling factor n . We investigate in particular the Hartree-Fock phase dia...
متن کاملCharge-transfer-induced cesium superlattices on graphene.
We investigate cesium (Cs) adsorption on graphene formed on a 6H-SiC(0001) substrate by a combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory study. Individual Cs atoms adsorb preferentially at the rim region of the well-defined 6×6 substrate superstructure and on multilayer graphene. By finely controlling the graphene thickness and Cs coverages (1/3 ML and 1 ML), we here demo...
متن کاملCharge density wave in graphene: magnetic-field-induced Peierls instability
We suggest that a magnetic-field-induced Peierls instability accounts for the recent experiment of Zhang et al. in which unexpected quantum Hall plateaus were observed at high magnetic fields in graphene on a substrate. This Peierls instability leads to an out-of-plane lattice distortion resulting in a charge density wave (CDW) on sublattices A and B of the graphene honeycomb lattice. We also d...
