Compressible electron flow through a narrow cavity is theoretically unstable, and the oscillations occurring during the instability have been proposed as a method of generating Terahertz radiation. We numerically demonstrate that the endpoint of this instability is a nonlinear hydrodynamic oscillator, consisting of an alternating shock wave and rarefaction-like relaxation flowing back and forth in the device. This qualitative physics is robust to cavity inhomogeneity and changes in the equation of state of the fluid. We discuss the frequency and amplitude dependence of the emitted radiation on physical parameters (viscosity, momentum relaxation rate, and bias current) beyond linear response theory, providing clear predictions for future experiments.

Based on a structure consisting of a single graphene layer situated on a periodic dielectric grating, we show theoretically that intense terahertz (THz) radiations can be generated by an electron bunch moving atop the graphene layer. The underlying p
hysics lies in the fact that a moving electron bunch with rather low electron energy ($sim$1 keV) can efficiently excite graphene plasmons (GPs) of THz frequencies with a strong confinement of near-fields. GPs can be further scattered into free space by the grating for those satisfying the phase matching condition. The radiation patterns can be controlled by varying the velocity of the moving electrons. Importantly, the radiation frequencies can be tuned by varying the Fermi level of the graphene layer, offering tunable THz radiations that can cover a wide frequency range. Our results could pave the way toward developing tunable and miniature THz radiation sources based on graphene.
We address the problem of transmission of electrons between two noninteracting leads through a region where they interact (quantum dot). We use a model of spinless electrons hopping on a one-dimensional lattice and with an interaction on a single bon
d. We show that all the two-particle scattering states can be found exactly. Comparisons are made with numerical results on the time evolution of a two-particle wave packet and several interesting features are found for scattering. For N particles the scattering state is obtained by perturbation theory. For a dot connected to Fermi seas at different chemical potentials, we find an expression for the change in the Landauer current resulting from the interactions on the dot. We end with some comments on the case of spin-1/2 electrons.
Two dimensional materials and their heterostructures constitute a promising platform to study correlated electronic states as well as many body physics of excitons. Here, we present experiments that unite these hitherto separate efforts and show how
excitons that are dynamically screened by itinerant electrons to form exciton-polarons, can be used as a spectroscopic tool to study interaction-induced incompressible states of electrons. The MoSe$_2$/hBN/MoSe$_2$ heterostructure that we study exhibits a long-period Moire superlattice as evidenced by coherent-hole tunneling mediated avoided crossings between the intra-layer exciton with three inter-layer exciton resonances separated by $sim$ 3meV. For electron densities corresponding to half-filling of the lowest Moire subband, we observe strong layer-paramagnetism demonstrated by an abrupt transfer of all $sim$ 1500 electrons from one MoSe$_2$ layer to the other upon application of a small perpendicular electric field. Remarkably, the electronic state at half-filling of each MoSe$_2$ layer is resilient towards charge redistribution by the applied electric field, demonstrating an incompressible Mott-like state of electrons. Our experiments demonstrate that optical spectroscopy provides a powerful tool for investigating strongly correlated electron physics in the bulk and pave the way for investigating Bose-Fermi mixtures of degenerate electrons and dipolar excitons.
The thermal radiation from an isolated finite-length carbon nanotube (CNT) is theoretically investigated both in near- and far-field zones. The formation of the discrete spectrum in metallic CNTs in the terahertz range is demonstrated due to the refl
ection of strongly slowed-down surface-plasmon modes from CNT ends. The effect does not appear in semiconductor CNTs. The concept of CNT as a thermal nanoantenna is proposed.
Correlation among particles in finite quantum systems leads to complex behaviour and novel states of matter. One remarkable example is predicted to occur in a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) where at vanishing density the Coulomb correlation among ele
ctrons rigidly fixes their relative position as that of the nuclei in a molecule. In this limit, the neutral few-body excitations are roto-vibrations, which have either rigid-rotor or relative-motion character. In the weak-correlation regime, on the contrary, the Coriolis force mixes rotational and vibrational motions. Here we report evidence of roto-vibrational modes of an electron molecular state at densities for which electron localization is not yet fully achieved. We probe these collective modes by inelastic light scattering in QDs containing four electrons. Spectra of low-lying excitations associated to changes of the relative-motion wave function -the analogues of the vibration modes of a conventional molecule- do not depend on the rotational state represented by the total angular momentum. Theoretical simulations via the configuration-interaction (CI) method are in agreement with the observed roto-vibrational modes and indicate that such molecular excitations develop at the onset of short-range correlation.
