Field electron emission from an ultrathin multilayer planar cold cathode (UMPC) including quantum well structure has been both experimentally and theoretically investigated. We found that only tuning the energy levels of UMPC the field electron emission (FE) characteristic can be evidently improved, which is unexplained by the conventional FE mechanism. Field electron emission mechanism dependent on the quantum structure effect, which supplies a favorable location of electron emission and enhances tunneling ability, has been presented to expound the notable amelioration. An approximate formula brought forward can predict the quantum FE enhancement, which the theoretical prediction is close to the experimental result.

We have measured electron energy distribution curves (EDCs) of the laser-induced field emission from a tungsten tip. Field emission from photo-excited nonequilibrium electron distributions were clearly observed, while no enhanced field emission due t o optical electric fields appeared up to values of 1.3 V/nm. Thus, we experimentally confirm the emission mechanism. Simulated transient EDCs show that electron dynamics plays a significant role in the laser-induced field emission. The results should be useful to find optimal parameters for defining the temporal and spectral characteristics of electron pulses for many applications based on pulsed field emission.
Due to high binding energy and oscillator strength, excitons in thin flakes of transition metal dichalcogenides constitute a perfect foundation for realizing a strongly coupled light-matter system. In this paper we investigate mono- and few-layer WSe $_2$ flakes encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride and incorporated into a planar dielectric cavity. We use an open cavity design which provides tunability of the cavity mode energy by as much as 150 meV. We observe a strong coupling regime between the cavity photons and the neutral excitons in direct-bandgap monolayer WSe$_2$, as well as in few-layer WSe$_2$ flakes exhibiting indirect bandgap. We discuss the dependence of the excitons oscillator strength and resonance linewidth on the number of layers and predict the exciton-photon coupling strength.
Experimental results of direct measurement of resonant monochromatic terahertz emission optically excited in InGaAs transistor channels are presented. The emission is attributed to two-dimensional plasma waves excited by photogeneration of electron-h ole pairs in the channel at the frequency $f_0$ of the beating of two cw-laser sources. The presence of resonances for the radiation emission in the range of $f_0pm 10$ GHz (with $f_0$ from 0.3 up to 0.5 THz) detected by a Si-bolometer is found. Numerical results support that such a high quality of the emission resonances can be explained by the approach of an instability in the transistor channel.
We address the increase of electron drift velocity that arises in semiconductor superlattices (SLs) subjected to constant electric and magnetic fields. It occurs if the magnetic field possesses nonzero components both along and perpendicular to the S L axis and the Bloch oscillations along the SL axis become resonant with cyclotron rotation in the transverse plane. It is a phenomenon of considerable interest, so that it is important to understand the underlying mechanism. In an earlier Letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 166802 (2015)) we showed that, contrary to a general belief that drift enhancement occurs through chaotic diffusion along a stochastic web (SW) within semiclassical collisionless dynamics, the phenomenon actually arises through a non-chaotic mechanism. In fact, any chaos that occurs tends to reduce the drift. We now provide fuller details, elucidating the mechanism in physical terms, and extending the investigation. In particular, we: (i) demonstrate that pronounced drift enhancement can still occur even in the complete absence of an SW; (ii) show that, where an SW does exist and its characteristic slow dynamics comes into play, it suppresses the drift enhancement even before strong chaos is manifested; (iii) generalize our theory for non-small temperature, showing that heating does not affect the enhancement mechanism and accounting for some earlier numerical observations; (iv) demonstrate that certain analytic results reported previously are incorrect; (v) provide an extended critical review of the subject and closely related issues; and (vi) discuss some challenging problems for the future.
Effects associated with the interference of electron waves around a magnetic point defect in two-dimensional electron gas with combined Rashba-Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction in the presence of a parallel magnetic field are theoretically investiga ted. The effect of a magnetic field on the anisotropic spatial distribution of the local density of states and the local density of magnetization is analyzed. The existence of oscillations of the density of magnetization with scattering by a non-magnetic defect and the contribution of magnetic scattering (accompanied by spin-flip) in the local density of electron states are predicted.
