Charge carrier transport and dynamics in nanostructures in the THz regime

Text

In collaboration with T. Ostatnický of Charles University we developed the first theory of the THz quantum conductivity, which does not contain internal contradictions. In particular, we demonstrated that the broken translation symmetry of the nanostructures induces a broadband drift-diffusion current, which is not taken into account in the analysis based on Kubo formula in the relaxation time approximation.

We provided a comprehensive review of the charge carrier transport and dynamics in nanostructures in the THz regime including conventional semiconductors and carbon-based nanomaterials. We classified the various regimes of the transport and categorized the available state-of-the-art models of the behavior.
