We demonstrate, through experiment and theory, enhanced high-frequency current oscillations due to magnetically-induced conduction resonances in superlattices. Strong increase in the ac power originates from complex single-electron dynamics, characterized by abrupt resonant transitions between unbound and localized trajectories, which trigger and shape propagating charge domains. Our data demonstrate that external fields can tune the collective behavior of quantum particles by imprinting configurable patterns in the single-particle classical phase space.

We show that a tilted magnetic field transforms the structure and THz dynamics of charge domains in a biased semiconductor superlattice. At critical field values, strong coupling between the Bloch and cyclotron motion of a miniband electron triggers chaotic delocalization of the electron orbits, causing strong resonant enhancement of their drift velocity. This dramatically affects the collective electron behavior by inducing multiple propagating charge domains and GHz-THz current oscillations with frequencies ten times higher than with no tilted field.

We discuss experimentally realizable situations in which surface effects may screen out the dipolar interactions in an assembly of nanomagnets, which then behaves as a noninteracting system. We consider three examples of physical observables, equilib rium magnetization, ac susceptibility and ferromagnetic resonance spectrum, to illustrate this screening effect. For this purpose, we summarize the formalism that accounts for both the intrinsic features of the nanomagnets and their collective effects within an assembly the condition for screening.
The unpredictability of a single quantum event lies at the very core of quantum mechanics. Physical information is therefore drawn from a statistical evaluation of many such processes. Nevertheless, recording each single quantum event in a time trace the random telegraph signal is of great value, as it allows insight into the underlying physical system. Here, quantum dots have proven to be well suited systems, as they exhibit both single photon emission and single electron charge transport. While single photon emission is generally studied on self-assembled quantum dots, single electron transport studies are focused on gate-defined structures. We investigate, on a single self-assembled quantum dot, the single electron transport in the optical telegraph signal with high bandwidth and observe in the full counting statistics the interplay between charge and spin dynamics in a noninvasive way. In particular, we are able to identify the spin relaxation of the Zeeman-split quantum-dot level in the charge statistics.
Single-electron pumps based on isolated impurity atoms have recently been experimentally demonstrated. In these devices the Coulomb potential of an atom creates a localised electron state with a large charging energy and considerable orbital level sp acings, enabling robust charge capturing processes. In these single-atom pumps, the confinement potential is hardly affected by the periodic driving of the system. This is in contrast to the often used gate-defined quantum dot pumps, for which a strongly time-dependent potential leads to significantly different charge pumping processes. Here we describe the behaviour and the performance of an atomic, single parameter, electron pump. This is done by considering the loading, isolating and unloading of one electron at the time, on a phosphorous atom embedded in a silicon double gate transistor. The most important feature of the atom pump is its very isolated ground state, which can be populated through the fast loading of much higher lying excited states and a subsequent fast relaxation proces. This leads to a substantial increase in pumping accuracy, and is opposed to the adverse role of excited states as observed for quantum dot pumps due to non-adiabatic excitations. The pumping performances are investigated as a function of dopant position, revealing a pumping behaviour robust against the expected variability in atomic position.

We show that the spins of all electrons, each confined in a quantum dot of an (In,Ga)As/GaAs dot ensemble, can be driven into a single mode of precession about a magnetic field. This regime is achieved by allowing only a single mode within the electr on spin precession spectrum of the ensemble to be synchronized with a train of periodic optical excitation pulses. Under this condition a nuclei induced frequency focusing leads to a shift of all spin precession frequencies into the synchronized mode. The macroscopic magnetic moment of the electron spins that is created in this regime precesses without dephasing.
