Based on the nonequilibrium Green' function method, the spin-dependent Fano effect through parallel-coupled double quantum dots has been investigated by taking account of both Rashba spin-orbit interaction and intradot Coulomb interaction. It is shown that the quantum interference through the bonding, antibonding states and through their Coulomb blockade counterparts may result in two Breit-Wigner resonances and two Fano resonances in the conductance spectra. Moreover, the Fano lineshape of the two spin components can be modulated by Rashba spin-orbit interaction when the magnetic flux is switched on. 相似文献

Using the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green's function technique, the Fano effect of a parallel-coupled triple Rashba quantum dot system is investigated. The conductance as a function of electron energy is numerically calculated. Compared with the case of a parallel-coupled double quantum dot system, two additional Fano resonance peaks occur in the conductance spectrum. By adjusting the structural parameters, the two Fano resonance peaks may change into the resonance peaks. In addition, the influence of Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the conductance is studied. 相似文献

By employing non-equilibrium Green's function method, the mesoscopic Fano effect modulated by Rashba spin–orbit (SO) coupling and external magnetic field has been elucidated for electron transport through a hybrid system composed of a quantum dot (QD) and an Aharonov–Bohm (AB) ring. The results show that the orientation of the Fano line shape is modulated by the Rashba spin–orbit interaction kRL variation, which reveals that the Fano parameter q will be extended to a complex number, although the system maintains time-reversal symmetry (TRS) under the Rashba SO interaction. Furthermore, it is shown that the modulation of the external magnetic field, which is applied not only inside the frame, but also on the QD, leads to the Fano resonance split due to Zeeman effect, which indicates that the hybrid is an ideal candidate for the spin readout device. 相似文献

We present a theoretical study of the spin-dependent conductance
spectra in a FM/semiconductor quantum-dot (QD)/FM system. Both the
Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling in the QD and spin-flip scattering
caused by magnetic barrier impurities are taken into account. It
is found that in the single-level QD system with parallel magnetic
moments in the two FM leads, due to the interference between
different tunneling paths through the spin-degenerate level, a dip
or a narrow resonant peak can appear in the conductance spectra,
which depends on the property of the spin-flip scattering. When
the magnetizations of the two FM leads are noncollinear, the
resonant peak can be transformed into a dip. The Rashba SO
coupling manifests itself by a Rashba phase factor, which changes
the phase information of every tunneling path and can greatly
modulate the conductance. When the QD has multiple levels, the
Rashba interlevel spin-flip effect appears, which changes the
topological property of the structure. Its interplay with the
Rashba phase can directly tune the coupling strengths between dot
and leads, and can result in switching from resonance into
antiresonance in the conductance spectra. 相似文献

We study the spin-dependent electron transport through parallel coupled quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer connected asymmetrically to leads. Both the Rashba spin-orbit interaction (RSOI) inside one of the QDs, which acquires a spin-dependent phase factor in the tunnel-coupling strengths when the electrons flow through this arm of the AB ring, and an inhomogeneous magnetic flux penetrating the structure are taken into account. Due to the existence of the RSOI induced phase factor, magnetic flux and the interdot coupling, a spin-dependent Fano effect will arise. We pay special attention on the properties of the local density of states and the conductance when the electron phase factor is close to integer multiplies of a quantum of flux. It is shown that the roles and lifetimes of the bonding and antibonding states of the two spin components are very sensitive to the phase factor and can be well controlled accordingly. This manipulation of the spin degree of freedom relies on the existence of RSOI but can be fulfilled even when its strength is very weak. The proposed structure can be easily realized with present technology and might be of practical applications in spintronics devices and quantum computing. 相似文献

We study the thermopower of a multilevel quantum dot which is coupled with the two leads. From our theoretic results, the thermopower of a multilevel quantum dot shows an oscillatory dependence on the gate voltage, which has been found in a lot of experiment data. The Fano effect of the electronic transport through the multilevel quantum dot is also shown as an obvious asymmetric line shape of the thermopower which come from the interference between the resonant and nonresonant multilevel paths of the conductive electrons. In addition, at the higher temperature, to thermopower, not conductance, it is the multilevel that is much easier to do contribution to the Fano effect. 相似文献

We first report 0.5(2e2/h) conductance quantization in adiabatic quantum point contacts (QPCs) fabricated at high In-content InGaAs/InAlAs single heterojunctions under no magnetic field. This quantization seems difficult to understand, since the spin one-dimensional (1D) subbands in the QPCs are generally degenerated when B=0. However, this observation is reproducible in various QPC samples with different dimensions but not likely so definite as the conductance quantization in usual QPCs. It is noted that this particular heterojunction 2DEG is found to have high electron mobility of <5×105 cm2/Vs as well as very large Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling constant of <35×10−12 eVm. So that, the QPCs realized here can be regarded as a kind of Tomonaga-Luttinger wire with an enhanced Rashba interaction. In such a case, a mode coupling between the Rashba splitting 1D subbands gives rise to a spin-polarized transport in each ±k direction. This theory could be the one plausible candidate to explain the 0.5(2e2/h) conductance quantization observed here in the adiabatic QPC. This finding would be developed to novel spin-filters or spin-directional coupler devices based on nonmagnetic semiconductors. 相似文献

The energy spectrum, ballistic conductance of an electron on the surface of a Kane type semiconductor hollow cylinder has been calculated by using the Kane equation with an additional term that takes into account the spin-orbit (SO) interaction. This term, known as Rashba term, occurs for asymmetric quantum wells, where two directions on the normal n are physically nonequivalent. If Rashba spin-orbital interaction is incorporated into energy spectrum, it leads to the emergence of new extrema. We obtained electron energy spectrum, which depends on the sign of the effective spin orbital constant. The energy spectrum of electrons has two branches when the magnetic field does not exist. One of these branches has only one minimum while the other branch has one maximum around k = 0 and two minima. The external magnetic field can control these extrema which occur in the event transport. The results were used to obtain the ballistic conductance at finite temperature of the Kane type hollow cylinder. It has been found that the presence of additional local extremum points in the subband of the electronic spectrum leads to a nonmonotonic dependence of the ballistic conductance of the system on the chemical potential. The g-factor of electrons was observed to depend on Rashba parameter in a linear manner. The effect of finite temperature smears out the sharp steps in the zero-temperature conductance. 相似文献

Spin-dependent Floquet scattering theory is developed to investigate the
photon-assisted spin-polarized electron transport through a semiconductor
heterostructure in the presence of an external electric field.
Spin-dependent Fano resonances and spin-polarized electron transport through
a laser irradiated time-periodic non-magnetic heterostructure in the
presence of Dresselhaus spin-orbit interaction and a gate-controlled Rashba
spin-orbit interaction are investigated. The electric field due to laser
along with the spin-orbit interactions help to get spin-dependent Fano
resonances in the conductance, whereas the external bias can be
appropriately adjusted to get a near 80% spin-polarized electron
transmission through heterostructures. The resultant nature of the Floquet
scattering depends on the relative strength of these two electric fields. 相似文献

In this Letter, we studied the electronic transport through a parallel-coupled double quantum dot (DQD) molecule including impurity effects at zero temperature. The linear conductance can be calculated by using the Green's function method. An obvious Fano resonance arising from the impurity state in the quantum dot is observed for the symmetric dot-lead coupling structure in the absence of the magnetic flux through the quantum device. When the magnetic flux is presented, two groups of conductance peaks appear in the linear conductance spectra. Each group is decomposed into one Breit-Wigner and one Fano resonances. Tuning the system parameters, we can control effectively the shapes of these conductance peaks. The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillation for the magnetic flux is also studied. The oscillation period of the linear conductance with π, 2π or 4π may be observed by tuning the interdot tunneling coupling or the dot-impurity coupling strengths. 相似文献

We investigate the shot noise of electron transport through an Aharonov-Casher ring subject to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Analytic expressions for the coefficients of reflection and transmission are derived by using the Griffith boundary conditions. For this kind of SOC, the ballistic transport of electrons can be analyzed as two independent spin channels, and both of them have the same transmission and reflection coefficients. The dependences of shot noise and Landauer-Biittiker conductance on controllable factors, including the strength of Rashba SOC, the asymmetrical angle of lead-connection positions, the radius of the rings, and the wave vector (or energy) of the incident Fermi electrons, are explicitly described by some new combined parameters. The ways that the shot noise and conductance vary with Rashba SOC and with asymmetrical angle are demonstrated by numerical simulations, respectively. It is revealed that the shot noise reaches its maximum for the particular situation of half transmission and half reflection and zero shot noise occurs at conductance maxima. 相似文献

The effects of an ac electric field on the Fano resonance in a parallel-coupled double quantum dot system are investigated theoretically. The field can induce the photon-assisted Fano resonances for both symmetrical and asymmetrical parallel configurations. The magnitude and position of the photon-assisted Fano peak can be tuned by the ac field strength and frequency, respectively. Furthermore, the Fano resonance can appear with increasing the field frequency for both the symmetrical and asymmetrical configurations. This provides an efficient mechanism to control the Fano resonance. The photon-electron pumping effects for the symmetrical and asymmetrical cases are also studied in the weak- and strong-coupling regime. 相似文献

The commensurate photon-irradiated mesoscopic transport in a strongly correlated quantum dot (QD) embedded Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer has been investigated. We focus our investigation on the dynamic Kondo and Fano cooperated effect affected by the double commensurate MWFs with q=ω2/ω1 being an arbitrary integer, where ω1 and ω2 are the two frequencies of the fields. The general tunneling current formula is derived by employing the nonequilibrium Green's function technique, and the different photon absorption and emission processes induced nonlinear properties have been studied to compare with the single-field system where q=0. Our numerical calculations are performed for the special cases with two commensurate fields possessing q=1,2. The Kondo peak can be suppressed to be a Kondo valley for the case where the commensurate number q=1, and the Fano asymmetric structure exhibits in the differential conductance quite evidently. Different commensurate number q contributes different photon absorption and emission effects. However, the conductance for the case of q=2 possesses more peaks and heavier asymmetric structure than the situations of q=0,1. The enhancement of satellite peaks behaves quite differently for the two cases with q=1, and q=2. The asymmetric peak-valley structure is adjusted by the gate voltage, commensurate MWFs, AB flux, source-drain bias, and non-resonant tunneling strength to form novel Fano and Kondo resonant tunneling. 相似文献

In this article, Fano lineshape whispering gallery modes were observed in the light scattering spectrum of a silicon microsphere in near-infrared telecommunication wavelengths. A simple model is presented to explain the transition from Lorentzian lineshape to the Fano lineshape resonances with the coupled-mode theory of multiple whispering gallery modes. Polar mode spacing of 0.23 nm is observed in the spectra, which correlates well with the calculated value. The quality factor of the Lorentzian and Fano resonances are on the order of 105. By using an appropriate interface design for the microsphere coupling geometries, Fano lineshape optical resonances herald novel device applications for silicon volumetric lightwave circuits. 相似文献

Fano versus Kondo Resonances in a Closed Aharonov-Bohm Interferometer Coupled to Ferromagnetic Electrodes 下载免费PDF全文
Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function and equation-of-motion technique, we investigate Fano versus Kondo resonances in a closed Aharonov-Bohm interferometer coupled to ferromagnetic leads and study their effects on the conductance of this system. The conductance with both parallel and antiparallel lead-polarization alignments is analysed for various values of the magnetic flux. Our results show that this system can provide an excellent spin filtering property, and a large tunnelling magnetoresistance can arise by adjusting the system parameters, which indicates that this system is a possible candidate for spin valve transistors and has important applications in spintronics. 相似文献

Nonequilibrium electron and spin transport properties in a
parallel double quantum dot (QD) Fano interferometer are
theoretically studied. With the shift of gate voltage around the
chemical potential of either lead, we find the Fano lineshapes in
the differential conductance spectra, which is sensitively
determined by the bias voltage strength and appropriate QD level
distributions. The intradot Coulomb interactions modulate the Fano
interference in a substantial way and can induce the emergence of
negative differential conductance, because of its nontrivial role in
splitting the QD levels. In the presence of a local Rashba
spin-orbit coupling, the interplay between the magnetic and Rashba
fields induces the occurrence of the nonequilibrium spin-related
Fano interference, different from the linear-transport results.
Furthermore, the striking Coulomb-driven spin accumulation in the
‘resonant-channel’ QD appears. 相似文献

A Gaussian type spin-polarized electronic wave packet is constructed to investigate the spin transport behaviour in an infinite two-dimensional electron gas system with Rashba spin--orbit (SO) interaction by solving the Schrödinger equation exactly. In the presence of Rashba SO interaction, the spin-dependent force induces a momentum dependent splitting of the two spin directions, the average spin current indicates the corresponding spin accumulation clearly. Furthermore, the coherence of the injected spin-polarized wave packet, as well as the transverse force, decays during the motion in the Rashba SO regime. 相似文献

The transport properties of a circular billiard with attached channels, which is an open system, have been studied in the
presence of the Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit interactions. It has been shown that this interaction leads to the appearance
of additional Fano resonances in the energy dependence of the conductance, the width of which is proportional to the fourth
power of the spin-orbit coupling constant. 相似文献

A three-quantum-dot spin filter based on nonequilibrium Green?s function technique is proposed with external magnetic flux, Rashba spin orbit interaction, and intradot coulomb interaction taken into consideration. Numerical results indicate a spin filter can be made efficient by adjusting external magnetic flux and Rashba spin orbit interaction. Moreover, the formation of a resonance band is discussed through calculation. It is observed that the possibility of transition from one peak to other three peaks in the conductance spectrum increases with increasing interdot coupling strength. 相似文献

Along the lines of Blonder, Tinkham and Klapwijk, we investigate
the charge transport through ferromagnet/two-dimensional
electronic gas/d-wave superconductor (F/2DEG/S) junctions in the
presence of Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling and focus our
attention on the interplay between spin polarization and spin
precession. At zero spin polarization, the spin-mixing scattering
resulted from Rashba SO coupling decreases the zero-bias
conductance peak. Under spin polarization, spin precession
introduces novel Andreev reflection, which competes with the
effect of spin-mixing scattering. If the F layer is a half metal,
the later effect is overwhelmed by that of novel Andreev
reflection. As a result, the zero-bias conductance dip caused by
spin polarization is enhanced, and at strong Rashba SO coupling, a
split zero-bias peak is found in the gap. In an intermediate
region where the two effects are comparable with each other, the
zero-bias conductance shows a reentrant behavior as a function of
Rashba SO coupling. 相似文献
