电磁波辐照下量子线的电子自旋极化输运性质

理论上研究Rashba自旋-轨道相互作(SOI)量子线在外电磁波辐照下的电子自旋极化输运性质.在自由电子模型下利用散射矩阵方法,发现当Rashba SOI较弱时,自旋极化率与外电磁场频率和电子入射能量无关,而当Rashba SOI较强时,自旋极化率则强烈依赖于外场频率和电子入射能量,其物理根源是Rashba SOI使子带混合引起的.此外,当电子的入射能量增加到打开另一通道阈值时,电子的透射率出现一个反常的台阶结构,这来源于电子与光子的非弹性散射而使电子在子带间的跃迁. 关键词： 量子线 电磁波 自旋极化输运 散射矩阵     

含stubs量子波导系统的电子自旋极化输运性质

理论上研究了含stubs的Rashba自旋轨道耦合（spin-orbit coupling, SOC）量子波导系统的自旋极化输运性质. 利用晶格格林函数方法,发现由于stubs和SOC产生的势阱使系统中出现束缚态,这些束缚态与传播态之间相互干涉导致电导中出现Fano共振结构,同时在对应的自旋极化率中也出现Fano共振或反共振结构. 此外,由于系统结构的突变使电子被反向散射和量子干涉效应,电导中出现一系列的共振峰. 但是,当系统加上外磁场后,所有这些效应都被抑制, 系统重新出现量子化电导, 同时自旋电导也出 关键词： 量子波导 自旋极化输运 自旋轨道耦合     

基于类叉形纳米结构的自旋极化电流分离器

采用递归格林函数法研究了含Rashba自旋轨道耦合(spin-orbit coupling,简记SOC)效应的类叉形纳米结构中电子的自旋极化输运性质。结果表明在非自旋极化电子入射时系统的两个出射端能得到大小相等但极化方向相反的两个自旋极化电流,其物理根源是由Rashba SOC和系统的几何结构导致的两出射端具有大小不相等的自旋电导。当系统中引入无序时,无序强度对自旋极化电流的影响较弱。这些效应说明所研究的系统有可能用来设计自旋极化电流分离器。     

THz-field-induced electronic transmission step-structure for a quantum wire

We study theoretically the low-temperature electronic transport property of a straight quantum wire under the irradiation of a finite-range transversely polarized external terahertz (THz) electromagnetic (EM) field. Using the freeelectron model and the scattering matrix approach, we show an unusual behaviour of the electronic transmission of this system. A sharp step-structure appears in the electronic transmission probability as the EM field strength increases to a threshold value when a coherent EM field is applied. We demonstrate that this effect physically comes from the inelastic scattering of electrons with lateral photons through intersubband transitions.     

Spin-dependent electron transport of a waveguide with Rashba spin--orbit coupling in an electromagnetic field

We investigate theoretically the spin-dependent electron transport in a straight waveguide with Rashba spin--orbit coupling (SOC) under the irradiation of a transversely polarized electromagnetic (EM) field. Spin-dependent electron conductance and spin polarization are calculated as functions of the emitting energy of electrons or the strength of the EM field by adopting the mode matching approach. It is shown that the spin polarization can be manipulated by external parameters when the strength of Rashba SOC is strong. Furthermore, a sharp step structure is found to exist in the total electron conductance. These results can be understood by the nontrivial Rashba subbands intermixing and the electron intersubband transition when a finite-range transversely polarized EM field irradiates a straight waveguide.     

Electron Transport of an Impurity Quantum Wire Under THz Electromagnetic Field Illumination

We theoretically investigate the effect of a single finite-size attractive impurity on the electron transport of a semiconductor quantum wire under the influence of a terahertz electromagnetic field illumination. In the freeparticle framework, the time-dependent electronic states are obtained by introducing an unitary transformation,and the electronic transmission of the system is obtained by using the scattering matrix approach. In the case of the field frequency resonant with the lateral energy spacing of the two lowest levels, a step-like structure for the transmission probability versus the total electron energy is predicted. Furthermore, due to the interplay between the single impurity and the applied field, the transmission probability curve in the non-resonant case shows a structure of a resonance dip on the interference pattern background with certain parameters of the impurity.

吸附缺陷对armchair型石墨烯纳米条带输运性质的影响

本文基于第一性原理研究了单个氢原子吸附缺陷对armchair型石墨烯纳米条带电子输运性质的影响.研究发现,吸附缺陷使armchair型石墨烯纳米条带在费米面附近的导电性有所降低,但透射能隙依然存在.缺陷对透射抑制的强弱与其吸附位置有关.在完整石墨烯纳米条带的布洛赫波函数分布几率较大处引入缺陷对电子输运的阻碍作用较大.对于布洛赫波函数分布相同的情况,吸附位置越靠近石墨烯纳米条带中心,则对电子输运的阻碍作用越大.
