In this paper, using the Boltzmann transport equation, we study the zero temperature resistance of perfect metallic crystals of a finite thickness d along which a weak constant electric field E is applied. This resistance, hereinafter referred to as the phonon residual resistance, is caused by the inelastic scattering of electrons heated by the electric field, with emission of long-wave acoustic phonons and is proportional to [Formula: see text]. Consideration is carried out for Cu, Ag and Au perfect crystals with the thickness of about 1 cm, in the fields of the order of 1 mV/cm. Following the Matthiessen rule, the resistance of the pure crystals, the thicknesses of which are much larger than the electron mean free path is represented as the sum of both the impurity and phonon residual resistances. The condition on the thickness and field is found at which the low-temperature resistance of pure crystals does not depend on their purity and is determined by the phonon residual resistivity of the ideal crystals. The calculations are performed for Cu with a purity of at least 99.9999%.

AbstractThe rotation of a spherical particle in a constant electric field (an effect found earlier) has been analyzed. The particle is illuminated to induce the electric dipole moment of the sphere. The dynamics of the rotation effect has been considered in general terms to refine conditions for adiabatic rotation. The features of the particle’s nonadiabatic rotation have been demonstrated with a sphere placed in a medium with an infinitesimal viscosity. It has been shown that the nonadiabatic rotation dynamics to a great extent depends on a relationship between the electrical and photoinduced dipole moments of the sphere. The rotation dynamics of a particle with a slightly nonspherical shape has been briefly analyzed.

In connection with the development of molecular nanobioelectronics, the main task of which is the construction of electronic devices based on biological molecules, the problems of charge transfer in such extended molecules as DNA are of increasing interest. The relevance of studying the charges motion in one-dimensional molecular chains is primarily associated with the possibility of using these chains as wires in nanoelectronic devices. Current carriers in one-dimensional chains are self-trapped electronic states, which have the form of polaron formations. In this paper we investigate the motion of the Holstein polaron in the process of its uniform motion along the chain in a constant electric field. It is known that during uniform motion along the chain in a weak electric field, the polaron experiences small oscillations of its shape. These oscillations are associated with the discreteness of the chain and are due to the presence of the Peierls-Nabarro potential in the discrete chain. Previous investigations have shown that for certain parameters of the chain, there is the possibility of uniform charge motion in a constant electric field over very large distances. The charge motion with a constant velocity is possible for small values of the electric field intensity. With an increase in the electric field intensity, the charge goes into an oscillatory regime of motion with Bloch oscillations. The calculations performed in this work showed that the elements of Bloch oscillations also appear during stationary motion of the polaron along the chain. Thus, it is shown that the Holstein polaron, uniformly moving along the chain in a constant electric field, experiences not only Peierls-Nabarro oscillations, but also low-amplitude oscillations with a Bloch period.

A new method using Fock space wave functions is proposed for studying resonant tunneling in semiconductor quantum wells. The use of binary occupation numbers as dynamical variables, rather than properties of individual electrons, manifestly takes account of electron statistics, which enables investigation of the influence of the Pauli principle on resonant tunneling in the presence of inelastic scattering. Applied to the evaluation of the resonant current in semiconductor heterostructures, our approach predicts considerable deviations from the one-electron and rate equations pictures.
