摘要
We develop a quantum theory of the nonlinear interaction between intense surface acoustic waves and electrons in a quantum well in the regime of moving quantum wires and dots. In the quantum nonlinear regime, the sound attenuation exhibits quantum oscillations and dramatically decreases with increasing quantization. In the case of dynamically created electron dots formed by two acoustic waves, the waves can propagate without any dissipation in the limit of high sound intensity and, hence, the electron quantum film acts as an acoustically quasitransparent material.
