Wannier quantization and novel electro-optical properties in semiconductor superlattices

We recently predicted that the old and controversial idea of the quantization of the energy spectrum by an external electric field should be observable and lead to original electro-optical properties in the case of short period superlattices. Here, I review the basic concepts and the subsequent expe...

Description
Summary:We recently predicted that the old and controversial idea of the quantization of the energy spectrum by an external electric field should be observable and lead to original electro-optical properties in the case of short period superlattices. Here, I review the basic concepts and the subsequent experimental work on this subject.
