Bloch oscillations and Wannier-Stark localization in semiconductor superlattices
Abstract
Description
The theoretical analysis of the ultrafast energy relaxation and transport phenomena in semiconductor superlattices is reviewed. In particular, we discuss the two equivalent quantum-mechanical pictures of Bloch oscillations and Wannier-Stark localization. A review of simulated experiments and their comparison with available experimental investigations is also provided.
