A technique for obtaining an approximate breather solution of the Klein-Gordon equation is presented. A breather solution of the equation describing the propagation of nonlinear waves in a graphene-based superlattice is investigated.
A model of a superlattice consisting of alternating strips of single-layer and bilayer graphene is proposed, whose parameters of the energy spectrum can be controlled by changing the external electric field perpendicular to the surface of the sample. Using the Kronig-Penney model, the dispersion equation is obtained, based on the analysis of which the energy spectrum of a graphene superlattice is studied depending on the ratio of the strip widths of single-layer and bilayer graphene. The results of the analytical solution are compared with the results of modeling by methods of the theory of the density functional. It is shown that the low-energy approximation used to derive the dispersion equation is valid when considering a superlattice with narrow strips of bilayer graphene and wide strips of single-layer graphene.
An appearance of a direct current perpendicularly to a constant component of an electric field in material with Rashba Hamiltonian under the influence of an elliptically polarized wave is investigated in one-subband approximation. On its physical nature this effect is close to a circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) on intraband transitions. The effect is studied on the base of two approaches: investigations of Boltzmann kinetic equation in a constant collision frequency approximation and semiclassical Monte Carlo simulations, which immediately takes into account microscopic processes of charge carriers scattering on optical and acoustical phonons. Monte Carlo modelling allows us to determine a mean relaxation time and its dependencies on electric field strengths and on the energy of optical phonons. On the base of these estimations a possibility of using a constant relaxation time approximation is justified. It is confirmed that the main contribution to the effects of transverse rectification is made by inelastic scattering of electrons on optical phonons. A comparison of results of Monte Carlo simulations and calculations on the base of a constant collision frequency approximation is presented.
A model for energy spectrum of superlattice on the base of graphene placed on the striped dielectric substrate is proposed. A direct current component which appears in that structure perpendicularly to pulling electric field under the influence of elliptically polarized electromagnetic wave was derived. A transverse current density dependence on pulling field magnitude and on magnitude of component of elliptically polarized wave directed along the axis of a superlattice is analyzed.
The effect of direct current component appearance in material with non-additive energy spectrum in the case when two electromagnetic waves with mutually transverse planes of polarization are incident normally on the surface of the sample is studied on the base of analysis of quantum kinetic equation. The cases of electron scattering on optical and acoustic phonons are considered. The first non-vanishing approximation by electromagnetic waves field strengths is obtained. It is shown that in concerned situation the decisive condition of direct current appearance is sufficient inelasticity of scattering.
