Bloch-like oscillations in a one-dimensional lattice with long-range correlated disorder.
We study the dynamics of an electron subjected to a uniform electric field within a tight-binding model with long-range-correlated diagonal disorder. The random distribution of site energies is assumed to have a power spectrum S(k) approximately 1/k(alpha) with alpha>0. de Moura and Lyra [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3735 (1998)]] predicted that this model supports a phase of delocalized states at the ...
متن کاملBloch oscillations and Zener tunneling in two-dimensional photonic lattices.
We report on the first experimental observation of photonic Bloch oscillations and Zener tunneling in two-dimensional periodic systems. We study the propagation of an optical beam in a square lattice superimposed on a refractive index ramp. We observe oscillations of the beam inside the first Brilloin zone and tunneling of light from the first to the higher-order bands of the lattice band gap s...
متن کاملBloch oscillations of cold atoms in two-dimensional optical lattices
Bloch oscillations of cold atoms in two-dimensional optical lattices are studied. The cases of separable and nonseparable potentials are compared by simulating the wave-packet dynamics. For these two classes of optical potential, the Bloch oscillations were found to be qualitatively the same in the case of a weak static field but fundamentally different in the case of a strong field. In additio...
متن کاملMultiphase semiclassical approximation of an electron in a one-dimensional crystalline lattice ⋆ II. Impurities and Bloch oscillations
We present a computational approach for the WKB approximation of the wave function of an electron moving in a periodic one-dimensional crystal lattice by means of a nonstrictly hyperbolic system whose flux function stems from the Bloch spectrum of the Schrödinger operator. This second part focuses on the handling of the source terms which originate from slowly-varying exterior potentials. Physi...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Bloch oscillations: A Lie-algebraic approach
ABSTRACT A Lie-algebraic approach successfully used to describe one-dimensional Bloch oscillations in a tight-binding approximation is extended to two dimensions. This extension has the same algebraic structure as the one-dimensional case while the dynamics shows a much richer behaviour. The Bloch oscillations are discussed using analytical expressions for expectation values and widths of the o...
