Stochastic web-induced chaotic dynamics in periodic potentials
This thesis describes the dynamics of particles in periodic potentials with a constant acceleration force and a tilted harmonic trap. The particles exhibit non-KAM chaos, whose semi classical trajectories are a combination of Bloch and harmonic oscillations. When the frequencies of these two oscilla...
