Nonequilibrium "melting" of a charge density wave insulator via an ultrafast laser pulse.
We employ an exact solution of the simplest model for pump-probe time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in charge-density-wave systems to show how, in nonequilibrium, the gap in the density of states disappears while the charge density remains modulated, and then the gap reforms after the pulse has passed. This nonequilibrium scenario qualitatively describes the common short-time experimental...
متن کاملBloch–Zener Oscillations in Graphene and Topological Insulators
We show that superlattices based on zero-gap semiconductors such as graphene and mercury telluride exhibit characteristic Bloch–Zener oscillations that emerge from the coherent superposition of Bloch oscillations and multiple Zener tunneling between the electron and hole branch. We demonstrate this mechanism by means of wave packet dynamics in various spatially periodically modulated nanoribbon...
متن کاملStatistical properties of continuous-wave Bloch oscillations in double-well semiconductor heterostructures.
Starting from a simple model of the double-mell semiconductor heterostructure capable of generating continuous-wave quantum "Bloch" oscillations, we have calculated analytically their major statistical properties, including spectral density and amplitude distribution. Other characteristics of the structure, pertaining to the Bloch oscillation, such as the dc I-V curve, rf impedance, and dc resp...
متن کاملTime-domain classification of charge-density-wave insulators.
Distinguishing insulators by the dominant type of interaction is a central problem in condensed matter physics. Basic models include the Bloch-Wilson and the Peierls insulator due to electron-lattice interactions, the Mott and the excitonic insulator caused by electron-electron interactions, and the Anderson insulator arising from electron-impurity interactions. In real materials, however, all ...
متن کاملDensity Functional Studies on Crystal Structure and electronic properties of Potassium Alanate as a candidate for Hydrogen storage
Potassium Alanate is one of the goal candidates for hydrogen storage during past decades. In this report, initially the Density Functional Theory was applied to simulate the electronic and structural characteristic of the experimentally known KAlH4 complex hydride. The relaxation of unit cell parameters and atomic positions was performed until the total residual force reduced less than 0.001ev ...
