Abstract
The effect of an additional high frequency alternating field on the Bloch-Zener oscillation of a quantum particle is investigated theoretically. The effective magnitude of the band gap is reduced by the ac field, and even collapsed to zero by appropriately tuning the amplitude and the frequency of the oscillation. This results in the enhancement of the Zener tunneling with dramatic changes of the Bloch-Zener oscillation. The temporal behavior of the wave packet is clarified as due to the interplay of the Landau-Zener interference in the repeated level crossings with two different time scales, namely, the period of the Bloch oscillation, and the period of the high frequency ac field.
