A full conversion proceeds, however, in terms of selected parameters. Cla...

The movement of the electrons under the simultaneous influence of a scalar periodic potential and of a uniform transversal magnetic field is described by the well-known second order discrete Harper equation. This equation originates from a two-dimensional energy dispersion law under the minimal substitution. Here one deals with the Harper model und...

In this paper we deal with the derivation of dynamic localization conditions for electrons on the one-dimensional (1D) lattice under the influence of ac electric and magnetic fields of the same frequency. We resort, for convenience, to a tight-binding single-band Hamiltonian. Our emphasis is on a more fundamental theoretical understanding by invest...

Coupled chains in electric and magnetic fields are discussed in terms of interplays between periodicity conditions and the factorization of the wavefunction in the wavenumber representation. Proceeding in this manner yields a quickly tractable matching condition providing the quantization rule to the alternative derivation of complex energy bands....

Applying the method of characteristics leads to wavefunctions and dynamic localization conditions for electrons on the one dimensional lattice under perpendicular time dependent electric and magnetic fields. Such conditions proceed again in terms of sums of products of Bessel functions of the first kind. However, this time one deals with both the n...

One shows that the oscillations with respect to the magnetic flux in the one-dimensional discretized Aharonov–Bohm rings are sensitive with respect to the parity of the number of electrons Ne. Resorting to basic flux intervals of unit length indicates that the period of such oscillations is given by the flux quantum Φ0=hc/e and by 2Φ0 if Ne is odd...

Dynamic localization conditions proceeding beyond the nearest-neighbour description have been established by applying the quasi-energy description. The general energy dispersion laws one deals with concern a periodic but commensurable dc?ac field like E0+E1f(t), for which f(t) = f(t+T) and ?B = P?/Q. Here and ? = 2?/T stand for the Bloch and ac f...

The q-deformed radial Schrödinger equation written down before (E. Papp, Phys. Rev. A 52, 101 (1995)) is analyzed in terms of products between q-Laguerre polynomials and q-exponential functions. For this purpose Coulomb and harmonic oscillator potentials are considered. Eigenvalue equations are able to be handled quasiclassically, such that now the...
Article
It is shown that the radial Schrödinger equation characterizing the isotropic harmonic oscillator is produced, to second order, by the continuous limit of the discrete equation concerning a suitable rescaled Meixner polynomial. Quantum numbers are established as they should be by virtue of pertinent matching conditions.

This Letter deals with the application of the virial and Hellmann–Feynman theorems to the Hermitian squared Hamiltonian characterizing the generalized version of the q-symmetrized Harper equation. This results in links between energy-eigenvalues and certain averages of selected Hamiltonian-terms, as usual.

The Δ ≠ 1 generalization of the q-symmetrized Harper equation is discussed in terms of wavefunctions expressed by Laurent series. Proceeding by recursion leads to a nontrivial Δ-dependent generalization of the characteristic energy polynomial, with a special emphasis on a continuous dependence on the commensurability parameter. The multiplicity par...

This paper deals with the application of the q calculus to second order q-difference equations, like the q symmetrized form of the Harper equation. One obtains three-term recurrence relations, for which a symmetrized version is written down. This opens the way to establish explicit energy results that are dependent on the commensurability parameter...

Available 1/N energy-formulae for attractive n2. We found that critical energies established before for repulsive n=3-potentials are able to be understood, within inherent degrees of complementarity, in terms of real valued ground state energy extrapolations. Duality transformations concerning n>2-potentials are discussed, too.

... The energy spectrum was obtained mainly by direct diagonalization of the Hamiltonian, while the energy eigenvalue polynomial was determined only for a few models [6]. Closed forms for the density of states functions (DOS) were also determined [3,7,8]. The DOS can be applied to deduce the thermodynamic properties while the number of electrons or chemical potential remains fixed [9]. ...
... Choosing β = P /Q, where P and Q are mutually prime integers, leads to solvable fixed-Q three-term recurrence relations for which q 2Q = 1. The energies then get produced by the roots of energy-polynomials such as P 1 (E 2 ; q) = 0 and EP 2 (E 2 ; q) = 0 proceeding for even and odd Qvalues, respectively, as shown, e.g., in [3]. Such polynomials exhibit the degrees (Q−i +1)/2 in E 2 , where i = 1, 2 are the corresponding subscripts. ...
... This amounts to reverse the usual k-wavenumber dependence of the energy in order to establish two correlated wavenumbers, say k + and k − , which are responsible for the description of propagation paths along the Ox-axis. Then the two dimensional rotation matrix 11 one looks for can be established in terms of displacements of length L acting along the two paths just referred to above 9,10 . However, several details referring to a systematic study of the parameter dependent spin precession angles are still desirable. ...
... There has also been a lot of interest in driven lattice systems (where the force is timedependent), and also in this context some findings beyond the nearest neighbor approximation are available, e.g. [30][31][32]. In the present work, we extend these results in two ways. ...

... The electronic effects in mesoscopic systems can be studied in many cases by restricting to the non-relativistic quantum mechanics [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] based on the Schrödinger equation with suitable additional terms describing the spin-orbit interaction [11][12][13][14][15][16]. Nevertheless, there are nano-systems laying out some measurable relativistic effects that can be satisfactory explained considering the electrons as massless Dirac particles moving on lattices [17][18][19][20]. ...
... Our results for a significantly wide class of q-polynomials are potentially useful in some of these fields. With a view to motivating the interested readers toward the theory and widespread applications of various families of q-series, q-polynomials, as well as q-difference and q-derivative operators, we have chosen here to include references (see, for example, [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]) to various related developments in recent years. ...
... Experimental confirmations [8] and the identification of further manifestations of dynamic localization effects deserve further 030002-4 attention, too. Other issues like dynamic localization effects produced by superpositions of time dependent electric and magnetic fields [9], or the description of currents in the dynamic localization regime [10], are also worthy of being mentioned. ...
... Next one finds that the Hamiltonian (4) changes the sign under Hermitian conjugation (11) H + q = −H q , but a such rather intriguing result is able to be understood in terms of the ERS. This amounts to consider realizations like H q = H (+) ...
... This amounts to formulate the magnetic flux operator in terms of right-and left-hand discrete derivatives, as shown by (7) and (8). Such operators are not hermitian owing to the very incorporation of discrete derivatives, but a hermitian realization can be readily established by resorting to a subsequent symmetrization, such as displayed in (9). Proceeding in this manner one gets faced with a deformed canonical commutation relation between electric charge and magnetic flux such as given by (12). ...
