Abstract The single-particle Green's function for a dc-biased superlattices with single impurity potential varying harmonically with time has been obtained in the framework of U(t,t') method and Floquet--Green's function. The calculation of the local density of states shows that new states will emerge between the resonant Wannier--Stark states as a result of the intervention of time-dependent impurity potential, and the increase in electric field strength of impurity will result in the growing of the number of new states between the gaps of neighbouring Stark ladders.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
