The electrons are trapped in a deep 'dynamic' quantum wells which are the result of specific features of the potential imposed on 2D electron gas: the scale of spatial nonuniformity is much smaller then the electron mean free path (L_1 << \\bar{l}) and the frequency is much greater then \\tau^{-1}, where \\tau is the electron free flight time. As a result, the effect of this field on the charged particle is in a sense equivalent to the effect of a time-independent effective potential, that is a sequence of deep 'dynamic' quantum wells were the elelctrons are confined. The possible consequeces of this effect are also discussed and similarity with the classical Paul traps are emphasized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-07-01T11:40:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum wire", "dynamic localization", "external non-uniform time-dependent electric field", "electron mean free path", "electron free flight time" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
