It is analyzed the hydrodynamics of carriers (charge and heat motion) and phonons (heat motion) in semiconductors in the presence of constant electric fields. This is done in terms of a so-called Higher-Order Generalized Hydrodynamics (HOGH), also referred to as Mesoscopic Hydro-Thermodynamics (MHT), that is, covering phenomena involving motions displaying variations short in space and fast in time and being arbitrarily removed from equilibrium, as it is the case in modern electronic devices. The particular case of a MHT of order 1 is described, covering wire samples from macro to nano sizes. Electric and thermal conductivities are obtained. As the size decreases towards the nanometric scale, the MHT of order 1 produces results that in some cases greatly differ from those of the usual hydro-thermodynamics. The so-called Maxwell times associated to the different fluxes present in MHT are evidenced and analyzed; they have a quite relevant role in determining the characteristics of the motion.

A family of the so-called Maxwell times which arises in the contexto of Higher-Order Generalized Hydrodynamics (also called Mesoscopic Hydro-Thermodynamics) is evidenced. This is done in the framework of a HOGH build within a statistical foundation i n terms of a Non-Equilibrium Statistical Ensemble Formalism. It consists in a description in terms of the densities of particles and energy and their fluxes of all orders, with the motion described by a set of coupled nonlinear integro-differential equations involving them. These Maxwell Times have a fundamental role in determining the type of hydrodynamic motion that the system would display in the given condition and constraints. The different types of motion are well described by contractions of the full description done in terms of a reduced number of fluxes up to a certain order.
Thermal transport in classical fluids is analyzed in terms of a Higher-Order Generalized Hydrodynamics (or Mesoscopic Hydro-Thermodynamics), that is, depending on the evolution of the energy density and its fluxes of all orders. It is derived in term s of a Kinetic Theory based on the Non-Equilibrium Statistical Ensemble Formalism. The general system of coupled evolution equations is derived. Maxwell times - which are of large relevance to determine the character of the motion - are derived. They also have a quite important role for the choice of the contraction of description (limitation in the number of fluxes to be retained) in the study of the hydrodynamic motion. In a description of order 1 it is presented an analysis of the technological process of thermal prototyping.

We propose a method that can consecutively modulate the topological orders or the number of helical edge states in ultrathin film semiconductors without a magnetic field. By applying a staggered periodic potential, the system undergoes a transition f rom a topological trivial insulating state into a non-trivial one with helical edge states emerging in the band gap. Further study demonstrates that the number of helical edge state can be modulated by the amplitude and the geometry of the electric potential in a step-wise fashion, which is analogous to tuning the integer quantum Hall conductance by a megntic field. We address the feasibility of experimental measurement of this topological transition.

When the excitation of carriers in real space is focused down to the nanometer scale, the carrier system can no longer be viewed as homogeneous and ultrafast transport of the excited carrier wave packets occurs. In state-of-the-art semiconductor stru ctures like low-dimensional heterostructures or monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides, the Coulomb interaction between excited carriers becomes stronger due to confinement or reduced screening. This demands a fundamental understanding of strongly interacting electrons and holes and the influence of Coulomb correlations. To study the corresponding particle dynamics in a controlled way we consider a system of up to two electron-hole pairs exactly within a wave function approach. We show that the excited wave packets contain a non-trivial mixture of free particle and excitonic states. We further scrutinize the influence of Coulomb interaction on the wave packet dynamics revealing its different role for below and above band-gap excitation.
We present a study on the intersublevel spacings of electrons and holes in a single layer of InAs self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) transmission spectroscopy without the application of an external magnetic fi eld. Epitaxial, complementary-doped and semi-transparent electrostatic gates are grown within the ultra high vacuum conditions of molecular beam epitaxy to voltage-tune the device, while a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) serves as back contact. Spacings of the hole sublevels are indirectly calculated using the photoluminescence spectroscopy along with FTIR spectroscopy. The observed spacings fit well to the calculated values for both electrons and holes. Additionally, the intersubband resonances of the 2DEG are enhanced due to the QD layer on top of the device.
