Bloch-Zener oscillations

Abstract
It is well known that a particle in a periodic potential with an additional constant force performs Bloch oscillations. Modulating every second period of the potential, the original Bloch band splits into two subbands. The dynamics of quantum particles shows a coherent superposition of Bloch oscillations and Zener tunneling between the subbands, a Bloch-Zener oscillation. Such a system is modelled by a tight-binding Hamiltonian, a system of two minibands with an easily controllable gap. The dynamics of the system is investigated by using an algebraic ansatz leading to a differential equation of Whittaker-Hill type. It is shown that the parameters of the system can be tuned to generate a periodic reconstruction of the wave packet and thus of the occupation probability. As an application, the construction of a matter wave beam splitter and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is briefly discussed.
