Magnetoconductivity of band-gap graphene

The effect of a magnetic field on the conductivity of band-gap graphene has been investigated. In the case of a non-quantizing field, the magnetic-field dependences of the conductivity and Hall conductivity have been found on the basis of the Boltzmann equation. The formula for the conductivity of graphene in a quantizing magnetic field at low temperatures has been derived within the Born approximation in the scattering potential. It has been shown that the magnetic-field dependence of the conductivity is oscillatory in this case.     

Radiation from band-gap solitons

We investigate band-gap solitons, i.e. the solitons in Kerr-nonlinear media with periodic in space modulation of potential, and show that they are unstable for their eigenfrequencies around the middle of the band-gap, i.e. radiate into mode continua of the upper and lower bands. We identify the mechanism of four-wave mixing that causes the radiation of solitons. We also show that the gap solitons self-stabilize by losing their mass due to the radiation and thus recoil into the non-radiative area of the band-gap.     

Impurity compensation and band-gap renormalization in double-quantum-wires

We investigate the band-gap renormalization due to electron-electron interaction in the n-type doped GaAs-based double-quantum-wire systems. Electron self-energy is calculated using the leading-order perturbation theory (GW) within the full random-phase-approximation (RPA). We include the impurity effects through Mermin expression and show that decreasing the spacing in double-wire system can compensate partly the undesirable effect of impurities on the band-gap renormalization. Therefore, it is possible to offset the effect of impurity in related devices and to adjust the band-gap. We also, apply a constant electric field to one of the wires. It is shown that the change of the band-gap renormalization in the other wire will be insignificant if the drift velocity does not exceed Fermi velocity.     

Energy band-gap engineering of graphene nanoribbons

We investigate electronic transport in lithographically patterned graphene ribbon structures where the lateral confinement of charge carriers creates an energy gap near the charge neutrality point. Individual graphene layers are contacted with metal electrodes and patterned into ribbons of varying widths and different crystallographic orientations. The temperature dependent conductance measurements show larger energy gaps opening for narrower ribbons. The sizes of these energy gaps are investigated by measuring the conductance in the nonlinear response regime at low temperatures. We find that the energy gap scales inversely with the ribbon width, thus demonstrating the ability to engineer the band gap of graphene nanostructures by lithographic processes.     

Synthesis and band-gap photoluminescence from cadmium phosphide nano-particles

Cadmium phosphide (Cd₃P₂) when synthesized from the direct reaction of cadmium metal salt and tri-octylphosphine (TOP) in presence of sodium metal showed band-gap emissions with engineered band-gap energy in between 2.85 and 2.75 eV. Optical studies showed pronounced quantum confinement effect from nano-particles so prepared. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of black powders revealed hexagonal Cd₂P₃ crystal structure. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed mixed morphology of fluffy particles likely to be amorphous in nature. Far-infrared (far-IR) spectroscopy revealed peaks associated with (Cd₃P₂).     

Plasma expansion and band-gap renormalization in CdTe and GaP

Detailed experimental and theoretical investigations, based on direct excite and probe experiments and on line-shape analysis, on the influence of many-body interaction, polar interaction, and transport effects on the energetic position and shape of the electron-hole plasma (EHP) emmission are reported. The comparison of optical EHP properties in an indirect (GaP) and a direct (CdTe) semiconductor of similar polarity offers the possibility of a separation of drift effects and polar effects with respect to band-gap renormalization. Direct evidence of a fast plasma drift in CdTe is obtained by thickness sensitive optical excite and probe experiments.     

Laser-induced ionization and intrinsic breakdown of wide band-gap solids

A simple scaling of bulk laser-induced breakdown threshold for wide band-gap solids is derived on the basis of a recent modification of the Keldysh photo-ionization model [43, 46]. Contrary to most traditional models, the modification is based on rigorous energy dependence of reduced effective electron–hole mass. The dependence leads to a specific ionization regime with an extremely high ionization rate resulting in intensive generation of conduction-band electrons. The regime is characterized by a well-determined threshold intensity that is proposed to be associated with the threshold of bulk intrinsic laser-induced breakdown (LIB) by visible and near-infra-red laser radiation. That allows deriving dependence of LIB threshold on laser and material parameters. The presented model provides explanation for the experimental results on LIB thresholds that have not received theoretical interpretation. In particular, it reproduces empirical dependence of breakdown threshold on the average inter-atomic spacing derived from the experimental data. The LIB threshold evaluated from the presented model is very close to experimental data on bulk LIB by tightly focused beams in wide band-gap solids. PACS 78.47.+p; 42.50.Hz; 42.50.Ct     

Matter-wave gap solitons in atomic band-gap structures

We demonstrate that a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice forms a reconfigurable matter-wave structure with a band-gap spectrum, which resembles a nonlinear photonic crystal for light waves. We study in detail the case of a two-dimensional square optical lattice and show that this atomic band-gap structure allows nonlinear localization of atomic Bloch waves in the form of two-dimensional matter-wave gap solitons.
