Analytic study of electron transmission through serial mesoscopic metallic rings

We investigate the electron transmission through a structure of serial mesoscopic metallic rings coupled to two external leads. A set of analytical expressions based on the quantum waveguide transport and the transfer matrix method are derived and used to discuss the effects of geometric configurations on transmission probabilities. It is found that in the contact ring case the existence of an applied magnetic flux is necessary to create transmission gaps, while in the non-contact ring case transmission gaps always appear irrespective of whether there is an applied magnetic flux or not. The transmissions for periodic rings with a defect ring and periodic rings built by two sorts of rings are also briefly studied. It is also found that the transmission periodicity with wave vector must be ensured by the commensurability of two characteristic lengths, i.e., of the half perimeter of a ring and the connecting wire between two adjacent rings. The special points of wave vector and magnetic flux which give rise to the transmission resonance and antiresonance are analyzed in detail.

Oscillatory magnetoconductance of narrow quantum waveguides in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields

We present quantum mechanical calculations of magnetoconductance of narrow quantum waveguides in the presence of inhomogeneous perpendicular magnetic field with the use of a model of two coupled tight-binding chains and the transfer-matrix method. The variation of the magnetoconductance with the magnetic flux φ threading one unit cell in the chains for different Fermi energies of the electrons is presented. The effect of magnetically defined ‘barriers’ on the conductance as a function of the Fermi energy is studied in detail for various samples with different magnetically structural configurations. The profile of the conductance depends on the magnitude and the relative direction of the magnetic field piercing the magnetic ‘barriers’. The behaviors of the conductance for the linear-variation and other modulation functions of the magnetic field in a finite region are shown. The abrupt change of the magnetic field in the interface between two adjacent regions causes striking oscillation structures imposed upon the conductance steps. When the magnetic field is varied smoothly (adiabatically) the oscillation structures in the conductance are substantially suppressed and smeared out and finally replaced by the rounded conductance step in the corner. The presence of a magnetically defined cavity in the waveguide leads to pronounced oscillations and the appearance of resonant dip-peak pair in the conductance.     

Spin-orbit berry phase in a quantum loop

We have found a manifestation of spin-orbit Berry phase in the conductance of a mesoscopic loop with Rashba spin-orbit coupling placed in an external magnetic field perpendicular to the loop plane. In detail, the transmission probabilities for a straight quantum wire and for a quantum loop made of the same wire have been calculated and compared with each other. The difference between them has been investigated and identified with a manifestation of spin-orbit Berry phase. The non-adiabaticity effects at small radii of the loop have been found as well.     

Zeeman splitting in ballistic hole quantum wires

We have studied the Zeeman splitting in ballistic hole quantum wires formed in a (311)A quantum well by surface gate confinement. Transport measurements clearly show lifting of the spin degeneracy and crossings of the subbands when an in-plane magnetic field B is applied parallel to the wire. When B is oriented perpendicular to the wire, no spin splitting is discernible up to B = 8.8 T. The observed large Zeeman splitting anisotropy in our hole quantum wires demonstrates the importance of quantum confinement for spin splitting in nanostructures with strong spin-orbit coupling.     

Exciton optical absorption coefficients and refractive index changes in a strained InAs/GaAs quantum wire: The effect of the magnetic field

Magnetic field induced exciton binding energy is investigated in a strained InAs/GaAs quantum wire within the framework of single band effective mass approximation. The strain contribution to the potential is determined through deformation potentials. The interband emission energy of strained InAs/GaAs wire is investigated in the influence of magnetic field with the various structural parameters. Magnetic field induced photoionization cross section of the exciton is studied. The total optical absorption and the refractive index changes as a function of normalized photon energy between the ground and the first excited state in the presence of magnetic field are analyzed. The optical absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes strongly depend on the incident optical intensity and the magnetic field. The occurred blueshift of the resonant peak due to the magnetic field will give the information about the variation of two energy levels in the quantum well wire. The optical absorption coefficients and the refractive index changes are strongly dependent on the incident optical intensity and the magnetic field.     

Spin-dependent transmission of holes through a semiconductor quantum wire with multiple stub

The spin transport of holes through a quantum wire made of many identical T-shaped diluted magnetic semiconductor/semiconductor units is investigated theoretically. The spin-down and spin-up transmission coefficients have been studied as a function of stub parameters. The spin-up transmission coefficient as a function of the stub length is extremely negligible, in the case of multiple-stub quantum wire, while the spin-down transmission coefficient shows a nearly periodic behaviour with regions of large transmission separated by forbidden bands. The spin polarization switches periodically between one and zero as the stub length is changed and shows a square-wave pattern.     

Electrical resistivity due to electron scattering with magnetic domain walls and magnetic properties of Ni-Fe alloy thin films

The physical properties of magnetic domain walls and electrical conductivity of permalloy thin films under external magnetic fields were studied. Using a magnetic force microscope (MFM), we observed the variation of domain configurations with the change of applied magnetic field for different film thicknesses of 245, 320, and 415 nm. A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) was exploited to measure the magnetization loop for the applied magnetic field either parallel or perpendicular to the normal direction of the surface. We also found that the resistivity increases significantly as the electrical current conduction changed from parallel to perpendicular to the domain walls.

A study of the ultrafast optical response of magnetized GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wire structures

We have studied analytically the ultrafast optical response of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wire subjected to a moderately strong transverse magnetic field. The energy dispersion relations have been numerically calculated and show a significant deviation from parabolic behaviour as the magnetic field is increased. The effective semiconductor Bloch equation technique is used to calculate the induced polarization and differential transmission spectra in the quantum wire. The calculated induced polarization is used to study the optical coherent transient phenomenon of optical nutation. The analysis demonstrates that the magnetic field effectively alters the optical response of the semiconductor quantum wire nanostructures. It is observed that the nutating signal frequency enhances with an increasing magnetic field. The results are useful to explain magnetic field effects on the transient optical properties of semiconductor nanostructures.
