Bloch oscillations, Zener tunneling and Wannier-Stark ladders in the time-domain
arXiv:cond-mat/9410114 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.74.1831
Abstract
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 electric field strong interband transitions occur; (ii) in static fields the complex time-dependence of the density-matrix displays a sequence of stable plateaus in the low field regime, and (iii) for applied fields with a periodic time-dependence the dynamic response can be understood in terms of the quasienergy spectra.
