The average transit time of electron tunneling through a potential barrier is newly defined and examined without using the concept of a wave packet and without solving explicitly the time dependent Schrödinger equation.
EN
First, a simple semiclassical approach has been applied to the problem of a quantum phase acquired by an electron carrying both the charge and spin, which travels in an electromagnetic field. Basic hypothetical devices whose operation relies on the quantum interference, including spin-related interference, are discussed in the following. Finally, experimental results demonstrating two-beam interference in a planar quantum dot are presented.

There are certain confusing statements in the literature concerning a physical time that is responsible for a high-frequency limit in operation of double-barrier resonant tunneling devices. Here, it is shown that an electron traversal time, introduced earlier by ours, exhibits no singularity on resonance and might be a good candidate for the quantity in question.

Dislocations parallel to a Schottky junction are considered as an example of well defined extended defects, and their behaviour in DLTS experiment is examined. A possibility of electron hopping between different traps of the defect, and inter-electronic Coulomb interaction are taken into account. Thermal electron emission from the considered defects is no longer exponential with time and consequences of this fact are discussed.
EN
A novel approach to the solution of the long-standing problem, called 0.7 anomaly in quantum point contact, is proposed. It is based on fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and can explain all main properties of the anomaly.
EN
Experimental results are presented confirming that the two energy levels in GaAs: E_{c} - 0.68 eV and E_{v} + 0.37 eV, discovered in plastically deformed crystals, belong actually to dislocations. In view of recent identification of the electron state of misfit dislocations at an InGaAs/GaAs interface, a correspondence between these levels and dislocation types has been reinterpreted. The first mentioned leve1 belongs likely to α while the second one to β dislocations of 60° (glide set) type. Such a correspondence is compatible with the observed effect of irradiation on dislocation glide motion in GaAs. It is also argued that these energy levels are involved in the phenomenon of unquenchability of the EL2 defects placed in high-stress regions near dislocations.

On Electrostatic Aharonov-Bohm Effect in Solids

EN
We analyse conditions for an appearance of the electrostatic Aharonov- Bohm interference in two systems: a single-channel quantum-wire loop and an open ballistic quantum dot. We show that in the first system the effect will be destroyed by charge fluctuations, which probably is the reason why it has not been clearly observed, while in the second system the effect is still open for exploration.
EN
We argue that the well-boundary roughness in a double-barrier heterostructure induces subsidiary subbands in the quantum well which, in turn, lead to the appearance of a broad shoulder beyond the principal resonance peak in the current-voltage characteristics.
EN
We investigated current-voltage characteristics of a lattice-mismatched GaAs(n)/Si(p) heterojunction. For low bias voltages at 77 K it exhibits a behaviour characteristic of the Coulomb blockade. We discuss why this unexpected phenomenon can occur in the investigated structures.
EN
We investigated current-voltage and photocurrent-voltage characteristics of a double-barrier resonant tunneling structure based on AlGaAs. To explain the observed "double-step" feature of the characteristics, we have proposed a mechanism including a multiple phonon emission of an electron dwelling in the quantum well.
EN
Two modes of electron gas injection in resonant tunnelling through GaAs/AlGaAs double-barrier heterostructures were revealed while studying their current-voltage characteristics. Examining peculiarities of the characteristics within the temperature range 4-350 K and under a high magnetic field, we were able to distinguish the contribution to resonant tunnelling of ballistic electrons injected from a three-dimensional electron gas in the emitter contact and that of electrons injected from a two-dimensional electron gas in the accumulation layer formed near the emitter barrier.
EN
A small "precursor" of resonance is observed before the main resonance peak in the current-voltage characteristic of double-barrier resonant-tunnel­ling devices. The competition between the precursor and main-peak current is examined within the temperature range 4.2-400 K. The precursor is interpreted as 3DEG contribution to the resonant tunnelling dominated by a 2DEG injection from a triangular well formed under bias in the emitter spacer layer.
EN
We examined the current flowing through p^{+}-n junction of the lattice mismatched GaAs_{1-x}Sb_{x}/GaAs heterostructure in a transverse magnetic field at 1.8 K. We have found the appearance of current oscillations, periodic as a function of the magnetic field, that are due to the Aharonov-Bohm effect of holes passed around charged dislocations.
EN
For the first time we observed a fine oscillatory structure, with the period of 36 mV, of the resonant tunneling peak in the current-voltage char­acteristic of a double-barrier heterostructure. We attribute it to a sequential single-phonon emission of ballistic electrons which tunneled out from the quantum well through the collector barrier.
EN
High-quality layers of the (Ga,Mn)(Bi,As) quaternary compound semiconductor have been grown by the low-temperature molecular-beam epitaxy technique. An effect of Bi incorporation into the (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductor and the post-growth annealing treatment of the layers have been investigated through examination of their magnetic and magneto-transport properties. Significant enhancement of the planar Hall effect magnitude upon addition of Bi into the layers is interpreted as a result of increased spin-orbit coupling in the (Ga,Mn)(Bi,As) layers.
EN
An effect of magnetic field normal to the tunnel current on the amplitude and phase of the fine oscillatory structure, discovered in the resonance current-voltage curve in double-barrier AlAs/GaAs heterostructures, has been examined. All the obtained results are consistently explained in terms of the interference of ballistic electrons, escaped from the quantum well, in the collector part of the structure.
EN
We designed and investigated four-arm nanostructures, composed of two perpendicularly crossed stripes, fabricated from ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As layer by means of electron-beam lithography patterning and chemical etching. The nanostructures exhibit a bistable resistance behavior resulting from two configurations of magnetic domain walls in the central part of the structures. We demonstrate a possibility of switching between two stable resistance states in zero magnetic field by applying a pulse of either weak magnetic field or electric current through the structure.

The planar Hall effect was used for investigation of magnetic anisotropy in short period (Ga,Mn)As/GaAs superlattices epitaxially grown on (001) oriented GaAs substrate. The results confirmed the existence of low-temperature magnetocrystalline anisotropy in the superlattices with the easy magnetic axes directed along the two in-plane 〈100〉 directions. Attention is paid to the two-state behaviour of the planar Hall resistance at zero magnetic field that provides its usefulness for applications in non-volatile memory devices.
EN
We report on results of magneto-transport measurements performed on four-arm nanostructure fabricated from p-type ferromagnetic Ga_{0.92}Mn_{0.08}As layer. The results reveal hysteresis-like behaviors of low field magnetoresistance. We interpret the magnetoresistance in terms of domain walls, which are expected to be trapped inside the nanostructure at some particular positions and which contribute to the total resistance.
EN
We studied narrow (submicron) constrictions in the layers of ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. We have demonstrated a contribution of the quantum localization effects to the magnetoresistance of the constricted samples. We have also found a negative contribution of a domain wall trapped in the constriction to the resistance, due presumably to the erasing of the localization effects by the domain wall.
