Inelastic resonant tunneling

A general expression for the resonant contribution to a tunneling current has been obtained and analyzed in the tunneling Hamiltonian approximation. Two types of resonant tunneling structures are considered: structures with a random impurity distribution and double-barrier structures, where the resonant level results from size quantization. The effect of temperature on the current-voltage curves of tunneling structures is discussed. The study of the effect of potential barrier profile on the d ² I/dV ² line shape is of interest for experiments in inelastic tunneling spectroscopy. Various experimental situations where the inelastic component of the tunneling current can become comparable to the elastic one are discussed. Fiz. Tverd.

Self-excitation of 2D plasmons in resonant tunneling diodes

Resonant tunneling is accompanied by the accumulation of 2D electrons in the quantum well between the barriers of resonant tunneling diodes. In high-quality structures this gives a Z-shaped current-voltage characteristic, and it is shown that self-excitation of 2D plasmons occurs in this quantum well for any external circuit at completely realistic parameters of the structures.

Resonant Josephson tunneling through S-I-S junctions of arbitrary size

The Josephson tunneling current in S-I-S structures where the main current transport channel is resonant tunneling through an isolated localized state is calculated using the Bogolyubov-de Gennes equations. It is shown that the efficiency of equilibrium Josephson resonant tunneling is determined only by the ratio of the width of the resonance level to the absolute value of the order parameter for the superconducting electrodes with arbitrary relationships among the system parameters.

Mixing of bound states with electron transport by a radiation field in waveguides

Electron transmission in the two-, three-, and four-terminal nanostructures is considered under the influence of a radiation field. The frequency of the radiation field is tuned to the transition between the energy of a bound state and the Fermi energy of the incident electrons. The radiation induced resonant peaks and dips of the electron transport are exhibited for zero and low magnetic fields. It is shown that rotation of the radiation field polarization can effectively control the electron transport into different electrodes attached to the structures because of the symmetry of the structures. The resonant anomalies of the Hall resistance are found in a weak magnetic field. Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 114, 1954–1970 (December 1998) Published in English in the original Russian journal.

Electric field effects on resonance structures in negative ion photodetachment

Abstract

The photodetachment of negative ions in a static electric field exhibits some new characteristic features and has beer considered in various theortical approaches.¹ Most of them, however, neglect the short-range interaction between the escaping electron and the atomic core, and must be modified to describe various resonant effects. Experiments² have shown very rich resonant structure in a dc-field, which can be attributed to the mixing of different excited states in the negative ion, to competition between elastic and inelastic decay channels, and to tunneling effects induced by the field. It is known that various resonant structures in Photoprocesses can be successfully described within standard multichannel quantum defect theory (MQDT). We present a modified MQDT frame transformation approach to extend the standard method to long-range potentials with nonspherical symmetry. In our treatment both the electron-field and electron-atom interactions are treated nonperturbatively and on an equal footing. The resulting theoretical calculations are compared with experimental data on field-modified H^? photodetachment in the vicinity of the n = 2 resonances.     

Detecting and quantifying temporal correlations in stochastic resonance via information theory measures

We show that Information Theory quantifiers are suitable tools for detecting and for quantifying noise-induced temporal correlations in stochastic resonance phenomena. We use the Bandt & Pompe (BP) method [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 174102 (2002)] to define a probability distribution, P, that fully characterizes temporal correlations. The BP method is based on a comparison of neighboring values, and here is applied to the temporal sequence of residence-time intervals generated by the paradigmatic model of a Brownian particle in a sinusoidally modulated bistable potential. The probability distribution P generated via the BP method has associated a normalized Shannon entropy, H[P], and a statistical complexity measure, C[P], which is defined as proposed by Rosso et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 154102 (2007)]. The statistical complexity quantifies not only randomness but also the presence of correlational structures, the two extreme circumstances of maximum knowledge (“perfect order") and maximum ignorance (“complete randomness") being regarded an “trivial", and in consequence, having complexity C = 0. We show that both, H and C, display resonant features as a function of the noise intensity, i.e., for an optimal level of noise the entropy displays a minimum and the complexity, a maximum. This resonant behavior indicates noise-enhanced temporal correlations in the sequence of residence-time intervals. The methodology proposed here has great potential for the precise detection of subtle signatures of noise-induced temporal correlations in real-world complex signals.

Linear circular dichroism in nonlinear absorption of light in a quantum well

The far infrared absorption spectrum caused by optical transitions of holes between size-quantization subbands is calculated for p-GaAs/AlGaAs(001) quantum-well structures. The selection rules for optical transitions at the center of the two-dimensional Brillouin zone are determined. Allowance is made for resonant saturation of one-photon electronic transitions between size-quantized subbands of light and heavy holes. The linear circular dichroism in one-photon nonlinear (resonant) and two-photon absorption of light in a size-quantized well are investigated. Fiz. Tverd.

Optical properties and photonic bands of GaAs photonic crystal waveguides with tilted square lattice

Reflectance measurements at variable angle of incidence are performed on GaAs photonic crystal waveguides with unconventional square lattices. The technique yields the dispersion of photonic bands for the investigated lattices, as first shown by Astratov et al. [Phys. Rev. B 60, R16225 (1999)]. A sample with a square lattice of air rings and small air fraction yields narrow resonant structures and a dispersion of photonic modes close to that of free photons. Another sample with a square lattice of dielectric squares and large air fraction leads to broader structures and to a dispersion of photonic modes which differs strongly for the two polarizations of light: this sample has a pseudo-gap around 1 micron wavelength. The experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical calculations of the reflectance and of the photonic mode dispersion in the photonic crystal slabs. Received 16 January 2002     

Role of stationary photon statistics in a high-Q cavity mode while it is exciting the active laser medium

It has been shown by Yu. M. Golubev, M. I. Kolobov, and I. V. Sokolov, Zh. éksp. Teor. Fiz. 111, 1579 (1997) [JETP 84, 864 (1997)], that when an optical cavity is excited by external radiation from a sub-Poisson laser the cavity mode may be in either a sub-Poisson or a Poisson stationary state. This is not important for a resonant medium which is excited into the upper laser level while interacting with this mode inside the cavity. The degree of regularity of the excitation will be identical to that of the initial light flux incident on the cavity, and this ultimately ensures the same sub-Poisson lasing as for strictly regular pumping of the resonant medium.

Estimation of resonant peak amplitudes

A simple method is proposed for estimating the resonant peak response levels of damped structures, by using an analysis of undamped vibration. The method is based on a simple identity which is exact for a single degree of freedom system and approximate for more general systems. However, since the level of damping in practical structures can seldom be described with any precision, it is argued that a simple approximate method for predicting resonant vibration levels is the most appropriate. A number of examples and applications are described.     

Have positron-helium scattering resonances been observed?

We comment on the recent claim by Karwasz [Eur. Phys. J. D 35, 267 (2005)] that he observed resonant structures in the total cross-section for positron scattering from helium. We frame our observations in terms of both the general capabilities of the Trento spectrometer, and new checks we have made on the measurement procedure employed by Karwasz. We conclude that the observed structures are most likely an experimental artefact, rather than being due to the positron-helium interaction.     

Selectivity in the aggregates of the chiral organolithium N-Boc-2-lithiopiperidine with a chiral ligand: a DFT study

In this paper the aggregates of the chiral organolithium N-Boc-2-lithiopiperidine [Boc=CO₂C(CH₃)₃], which play an important role in the formation of chiral 2-substituted piperidines found in many alkaloid structures and medicinal compounds, have been investigated within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. In the complex structures, the lithium atoms are tetra-coordinated, the diaminoalkoxide ligand is tridentate to one lithium atom and forms a chelate with the substrate which is stabilized by the solvent diethyl ether. The same type of bonding was observed for all the different ligand-bound structures; for ligands 6 and 7, which have bulky substituents, selectivity was in agreement with experiment. The results shed light on the microscopic structures of these species and suggest a potential ligand, 11, to yield high enantioselectivity.     

Interband resonant tunneling in superconductor heterostructures in a quantizing magnetic field

The resonant tunneling of electrons through quasistationary levels in the valence band of a quantum well in double-barrier structures based on III–V materials with type-II heterojunctions is considered in a quantizing magnetic field directed perpendicularly to the interfaces. The transmission coefficients of the tunnel structure for transitions from states corresponding to different Landau levels are calculated using the Kane model. It is shown that transitions with a unit change in the Landau level index n as a result of mixing of the wave functions of states with opposite spin orientations are possible on the interfaces due to spin-orbit coupling. The probability of such transitions can be comparable to the probability of transitions without a change in the Landau level index for InAs/AlGaSb/GaSb resonant-tunneling structures. Fiz. Tverd.

High-frequency response and the possibilities of frequency-tunable narrow-band terahertz amplification in resonant tunneling nanostructures

The characteristics of the high-frequency response of single- and double-well resonant tunneling structures in a dc electric field are investigated on the basis of the numerical solution of a time-dependent Schrödinger equation with open boundary conditions. The frequency dependence of the real part of high frequency conductivity (high-frequency response) in In_0.53Ga_0.47As/AlAs/InP structures is analyzed in detail for various values of the dc voltage V _dc in the negative differential resistance (NDR) region. It is shown that double-well three-barrier structures are promising for the design of terahertz-band oscillators. The presence of two resonant states with close energies in such structures leads to a resonant (in frequency) response whose frequency is determined by the energy difference between these levels and can be controlled by varying the parameters of the structure. It is shown that, in principle, such structures admit narrow-band amplification, tuning of the amplification frequency, and a fine control of the amplification (oscillation) frequency in a wide range of terahertz frequencies by varying a dc electric voltage applied to the structure. Starting from a certain width of the central intermediate barrier in double-well structures, one can observe a collapse of resonances, where the structure behaves like a single-well system. This phenomenon imposes a lower limit on the oscillation frequency in three-barrier resonant tunneling structures.     

Resonant acceptor states and terahertz stimulated emission of uniaxially strained germanium

The stimulated emission spectrum of uniaxially strained p-Ge is presented. The energy spectrum of the states of a shallow acceptor in Ge under uniaxial compression is calculated. The threshold pressure at which the acceptor state split off from the ground state becomes resonant is found. The pressure dependence of the width of this resonant level is calculated. The stimulated emission lines are identified. In particular, it is shown that the principal emission peak corresponds to the transition of holes from the resonant 1s (1s _r) state to the local p _±1 state. The probabilities of optical transitions are calculated. A mechanism of population inversion due to the intense resonant scattering of hot holes with an energy corresponding to the position of the 1s _r level is proposed. Zh. éksp. Teor.

Excitonic waveguiding and lasing in wide bandgap semiconductor

New type of structures for optoelectronics, we refer to as excitonic waveguides, are proposed and realized. Oppositely to conventional waveguides and double-heterostructure lasers, no significant difference in the average refractive index between the cladding and the active layers is necessary, and these regions can be fabricated from the same matrix material (homojunction laser). In this approach: (i) the waveguiding effect has a resonant nature and appears on the low-energy side of the strong exciton absorption peak in agreement with the Kramers-Kronig transformation; (ii) the absorption peak is induced by nanoscale island-like insertions of narrow-gap material in a wide bandgap matrix (quantum dots), preventing free-carrier screening of excitons and, simultaneously, allowing lasing resonant to the spectral range of the enhanced refractive index.

Autoionization of an ultracold Rydberg gas through resonant dipole coupling

We investigate a possible mechanism for the autoionization of ultracold Rydberg gases, based on the resonant coupling of Rydberg pair states to the ionization continuum. Unlike an atomic collision where the wave functions begin to overlap, the mechanism considered here involves only the long-range dipole interaction and is in principle possible in a static system. It is related to the process of intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD). In addition, we include the interaction-induced motion of the atoms and the effect of multi-particle systems in this work. We find that the probability for this ionization mechanism can be increased in many-particle systems featuring attractive or repulsive van der Waals interactions. However, the rates for ionization through resonant dipole coupling are very low. It is thus unlikely that this process contributes to the autoionization of Rydberg gases in the form presented here, but it may still act as a trigger for secondary ionization processes. As our picture involves only binary interactions, it remains to be investigated if collective effects of an ensemble of atoms can significantly influence the ionization probability. Nevertheless our calculations may serve as a starting point for the investigation of more complex systems, such as the coupling of many pair states proposed in [P.J. Tanner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 043002 (2008)].
