Abstract
The dynamics of relativistic electrons subjected to planar channeling in distorted crystals is investigated using step-by-step numerical integration of the Schrödinger equation. It is shown that periodic distortion of a planar channel (the formation of a “superlattice”) can cause complete reorganization of the mode structure of the wave function. In the limit of weak perturbations of the crystal lattice, the simulation results are consistent with the analytical results from perturbation theory. The position of each line in the spontaneous emission spectrum in the case of resonant distortions depends on the length of the superlattice period.
