Scattering induced current in a tight-binding band
In the single band tight-binding approximation, we consider the transport properties of an electron subject to a homogeneous static electric field. We show that repeated interactions of the electron with two-level systems in thermal equilibrium suppress the Bloch oscillations and induce a steady current, the statistical properties of which we study.

متن کاملTight- binding study of electronic band structure of anisotropic honeycomb lattice
The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...
متن کاملAn algebraic solution of driven single band tight binding dynamics
The dynamics of the driven single band tight binding model for Wannier-Stark systems is formulated and solved using a dynamical algebra. This Lie algebraic approach is very convenient for evaluating matrix elements and expectation values. A classicalization of the tight binding model is discussed as well as some illustrating examples of Bloch oscillations and dynamical localization effects. It ...
متن کاملHandout on Tight-binding Calculation for Band Structures
The ions of a solid are assumed to be in a perfect arrangement, and they introduce a periodic potential, infinitely large in size. We would start from the ‘one electron approximation’ for convenience. For many solids, the existence of the core electrons can be ‘ignored’ because of screening, The problem is now to calculate the wavefunction of one electron as a function of energy. Using the Schr...
متن کاملElectronic Band Structure Modeling in Strained Si-Nanowires: Two Band k ·p Versus Tight Binding
The subband structure of silicon nanowires has gained much interest recently. Nanowires with diameters below 10 nm are predicted to have a significantly altered subband structure compared with bulk silicon. The effective mass approximation fails to describe these alterings correctly, and so far the semiempirical tight binding method and first principles calculations were used to investigate the...
