# Electron pairing in nanostructures driven by an oscillating field

## TL;DR

This paper theoretically demonstrates that strong high-frequency electromagnetic fields can induce electron confinement and pairing in nanostructures with repulsive potentials, revealing a novel mechanism for electron pairing.

## Contribution

It introduces a new theoretical mechanism for electron pairing in nanostructures driven by oscillating fields, expanding understanding of electron behavior under high-frequency electromagnetic influence.

## Key findings

- Electron confinement can occur in repulsive potentials under high-frequency fields.
- Metastable bound electron states can form in such nanostructures.
- Electron pairing may be facilitated by this confinement mechanism.

## Abstract

It is shown theoretically that the confinement of an electron at a repulsive potential can exist in nanostructures subjected to a strong high-frequency electromagnetic field. As a result of the confinement, the metastable bound electron state of the repulsive potential appears. This effect can lead, particularly, to electron pairing in nanostructures containing conduction electrons with different effective masses.
