We address the enhancement of electron drift in semiconductor superlattices of nanometre scale that occurs in combined electric and tilted magnetic fields if Bloch oscillations become resonant with cyclotron rotation in the transverse plane. We uncover the true dynamical mechanism of the phenomenon: the electron dynamics at relevant time-scales is regular or almost regular, contrary to the widespread belief that the enhancement arises through chaotic diffusion between collisions. The theory provides an accurate description of earlier numerical simulations, predicts new remarkable features verified by simulations, and suggests new ways of controlling resonant transport.

The recent observation [R. V. Gorbachev et al., Science {bf 346}, 448 (2014)] of nonlocal resistance $R_mathrm{NL}$ near the Dirac point (DP) of multiterminal graphene on aligned hexagonal boron nitride (G/hBN) has been interpreted as the consequence
of topological valley Hall currents carried by the Fermi sea states just beneath the bulk gap $E_g$ induced by the inversion symmetry breaking. However, the valley Hall conductivity $sigma^v_{xy}$, quantized inside $E_g$, is not directly measurable. Conversely, the Landauer-B{u}ttiker formula, as numerically exact approach to observable nonlocal transport quantities, yields $R_mathrm{NL} equiv 0$ for the same simplistic Hamiltonian of gapped graphene that generates $sigma^v_{xy} eq 0$. We combine ab initio with quantum transport calculations to demonstrate that G/hBN wires with zigzag edges host dispersive edge states near the DP that are absent in theories based on the simplistic Hamiltonian. Although such edge states exist also in isolated zigzag graphene wires, aligned hBN is required to modify their energy-momentum dispersion and generate $R_mathrm{NL} eq 0$ near the DP persisting in the presence of edge disorder. Concurrently, the edge states resolve the long-standing puzzle of why the highly insulating state of G/hBN is rarely observed. We conclude that the observed $R_mathrm{NL}$ is unrelated to Fermi sea topological valley currents conjectured for gapped Dirac spectra.
Semiclassical methods can now explain many mesoscopic effects (shot-noise, conductance fluctuations, etc) in clean chaotic systems, such as chaotic quantum dots. In the deep classical limit (wavelength much less than system size) the Ehrenfest time (
the time for a wavepacket to spread to a classical size) plays a crucial role, and random matrix theory (RMT) ceases to apply to the transport properties of open chaotic systems. Here we summarize some of our recent results for shot-noise (intrinsically quantum noise in the current through the system) in this deep classical limit. For systems with perfect coupling to the leads, we use a phase-space basis on the leads to show that the transmission eigenvalues are all 0 or 1 -- so transmission is noiseless [Whitney-Jacquod, Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 116801 (2005), Jacquod-Whitney, Phys. Rev. B 73, 195115 (2006)]. For systems with tunnel-barriers on the leads we use trajectory-based semiclassics to extract universal (but non-RMT) shot-noise results for the classical regime [Whitney, Phys. Rev. B 75, 235404 (2007)].
Weakly coupled semiconductor superlattices under dc voltage bias are excitable systems with many degrees of freedom that may exhibit spontaneous chaos at room temperature and act as fast physical random number generator devices. Superlattices with id
entical periods exhibit current self-oscillations due to the dynamics of charge dipole waves but chaotic oscillations exist on narrow voltage intervals. They disappear easily due to variation in structural growth parameters. Based on numerical simulations, we predict that inserting two identical sufficiently separated wider wells increases superlattice excitability by allowing wave nucleation at the modified wells and more complex dynamics. This system exhibits hyperchaos and varieties of intermittent chaos in extended dc voltage ranges. Unlike in ideal superlattices, our chaotic attractors are robust and resilient against noises and against controlled random disorder due to growth fluctuations.
Dynamical systems theory approach has been successfully used in physical oceanography for the last two decades to study mixing and transport of water masses in the ocean. The basic theoretical ideas have been borrowed from the phenomenon of chaotic a
dvection in fluids, an analogue of dynamical Hamiltonian chaos in mechanics. The starting point for analysis is a velocity field obtained by this or that way. Being motivated by successful applications of that approach to simplified analytic models of geophysical fluid flows, researchers now work with satellite-derived velocity fields and outputs of sophisticated numerical models of ocean circulation. This review article gives an introduction to some of the basic concepts and methods used to study chaotic mixing and transport in the ocean and a brief overview of recent results with some practical applications of Lagrangian tools to monitor spreading of Fukushima-derived radionuclides in the ocean.
Two dimensional InAs/GaAs quantum ring (QR) is considered using the effective potential approach. The symmetry of QR shape is violated as it is in the well-known Bohigas annular billiard. We calculate energy spectrum and studied the spatial localizat
ion of a single electron in such QR. For weak violation of the QR shape symmetry, the spectrum is presented as a set of quasi-doublets. Tunneling between quasi-doublet states is studied by the dependence on energy of the states. The dependence is changed with variation of the QR geometry that is related to the eccentricity of the QR. An interpretation of the experimental result obtained in [1] is proposed. We show that the chaos-assisted tunneling effect found in this paper can be explained by inter-band interactions occurred by anti-crossing of the levels with different radial quantum numbers.
