The temporal evolution of quantal Joule heating of 2D electrons in GaAs quantum well placed in quantizing magnetic fields is studied using a difference frequency method. The method is based on measurements of the electron conductivity oscillating at the beat frequency $f=f_1-f_2$ between two microwaves applied to 2D system at frequencies $f_1$ and $f_2$. The method provides $direct$ access to the dynamical characteristics of the heating and yields the inelastic scattering time $tau_{in}$ of 2D electrons. The obtained $tau_{in}$ is strongly temperature dependent, varying from 0.13 ns at 5.5K to 1 ns at 2.4K in magnetic field $B$=0.333T. When temperature $T$ exceeds the Landau level separation the relaxation rate $1/tau_{in}$ is proportional to $T^2$, indicating the electron-electron interaction as the dominant mechanism limiting the quantal heating. At lower temperatures the rate tends to be proportional to $T^3$, indicating considerable contribution from electron-phonon scattering.

Effects of microwave radiation on magnetoresistance are analyzed in a balance-equation scheme that covers regimes of inter- and intra-Landau level processes and takes account of photon-asissted electron transitions as well as radiation-induced change of the electron distribution for high mobility two-dimensional systems. Short-range scatterings due to background impurities and defects are shown to be the dominant direct contributors to the photoresistance oscillations. The electron temperature characterizing the system heating due to irradiation, is derived by balancing the energy absorption from the radiation field and the energy dissipation to the lattice through realistic electron-phonon couplings, exhibiting resonant oscillation. Microwave modulations of Shubnikov de Haas oscillation amplitude are produced together with microwave-induced resistance oscillations, in agreement with experimental findings. In addition, the suppression of the magnetoresistance caused by low-frequency radiation in the higher magnetic field side is also demonstrated.
Fermi gases in two dimensions display a surprising collective behavior originating from the head-on carrier collisions. The head-on processes dominate angular relaxation at not-too-high temperatures $Tll T_F$ owing to the interplay of Pauli blocking and momentum conservation. As a result, a large family of excitations emerges, associated with the odd-parity harmonics of momentum distribution and having exceptionally long lifetimes. This leads to tomographic dynamics: fast 1D spatial diffusion along the unchanging velocity direction accompanied by a slow angular dynamics that gradually randomizes velocity orientation. The tomographic regime features an unusual hierarchy of time scales and scale-dependent transport coefficients with nontrivial fractional scaling dimensions, leading to fractional-power current flow profiles and unusual conductance scaling vs. sample width.
We report on a theoretical study of the influence of electron-electron interactions on ARPES spectra in graphene that is based on the random-phase-approximation and on graphenes massless Dirac equation continuum model. We find that level repulsion be tween quasiparticle and plasmaron resonances gives rise to a gap-like feature at small k. ARPES spectra are sensitive to the electron-electron interaction coupling strength $alpha_{rm gr}$ and might enable an experimental determination of this material parameter.

In this paper we present the concept of description of random processes in complex systems with the discrete time. It involves the description of kinetics of discrete processes by means of the chain of finite-difference non-Markov equations for time correlation functions (TCF). We have introduced the dynamic (time dependent) information Shannon entropy $S_i(t)$ where i=0,1,2,3,... as an information measure of stochastic dynamics of time correlation $(i=0)$ and time memory (i=1,2,3,...). The set of functions $S_i(t)$ constitute the quantitative measure of time correlation disorder $(i=0)$ and time memory disorder (i=1,2,3,...) in complex system. Harnessing the infinite set of orthogonal dynamic random variables on a basis of Gram-Shmidt orthogonalization procedure tends to creation of infinite chain of finite-difference non-Markov kinetic equations for discrete TCF and memory function.The solution of the equations above thereof brings to the recurrence relations between the TCF and MF of senior and junior orders. The results obtained offer considerable scope for attack on stochastic dynamics of discrete random processes in a complex systems. Application of this technique on the analysis of stochastic dynamics of RR-intervals from human ECGs shows convincing evidence for a non-Markovian phenomemena associated with a peculiarities in short and long-range scaling. This method may be of use in distinguishing healthy from pathologic data sets based in differences in these non-Markovian properties.
We demonstrate the effect of single-electron tunneling (SET) through a carbon nanotube quantum dot on its nanomechanical motion. We find that the frequency response and the dissipation of the nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) to SET strongly depend s on the electronic environment of the quantum dot, in particular on the total dot capacitance and the tunnel coupling to the metal contacts. Our findings suggest that one could achieve quality factors of 10$^{6}$ or higher by choosing appropriate gate dielectrics and/or by improving the tunnel coupling to the leads.
