嵌入T型耦合双量子点介观A-B环系统的显著Fano 效应

利用平均场近似理论,研究了一个嵌入T型弱耦合双量子点的介观环系统的基态性质. 结果表明,体系中复杂的基态性质源于Kondo效应与Fano效应相互竞争. 当介观环的尺寸达到足以产生完全Kondo共振时,随双量子点间耦合强度的增强,尖锐的持续电流峰出现了,且越发显著,这说明体系中存在着显著的Fano 效应. 但介观环的Kondo共振持续电流峰值却几乎不发生变化,这为测定Kondo 屏蔽云提供了一个新的可能模型. 关键词： 耦合量子点 持续电流 Kondo效应 Fano 效应     

Quantum transport in a mesoscopic ring: Evidence of an OR gate

We explore the OR gate response in a mesoscopic ring threaded by a magnetic flux . The ring is symmetrically attached to two semi-infinite one-dimensional metallic electrodes, and two gate voltages, V_a and V_b, are applied in one arm of the ring; these are treated as the two inputs of the OR gate. All the calculations are based on the tight-binding model and the Green’s function method, which numerically compute the conductance–energy and current–voltage characteristics as functions of the gate voltages, ring-to-electrode coupling strengths and magnetic flux. Our theoretical study shows that, for =₀/2 (₀=ch/e, the elementary flux-quantum), a high output current (1) (in the logical sense) appears if one or both the inputs to the gate are high (1), while if neither input is high (1), a low output current (0) appears. It clearly demonstrates the OR gate behavior, and this aspect may be utilized in designing an electronic logic gate.

Quantum interference of electrons in a ring: tuning of the geometrical phase

We calculate the oscillations of the dc conductance across a mesoscopic ring, simultaneously tuned by applied magnetic and electric fields orthogonal to the ring. The oscillations depend on the Aharonov-Bohm flux and of the spin-orbit coupling. They result from mixing of the dynamical phase, including the Zeeman spin splitting, and of geometric phases. By changing the applied fields, the geometric phase contribution to the conductance oscillations can be tuned from the adiabatic (Berry) to the nonadiabatic (Ahronov-Anandan) regime. To model a realistic device, we also include nonzero backscattering at the connection between ring and contacts, and a random phase for electron wave function, accounting for dephasing effects.     

Critical fluctuations in a mesoscopic superconducting ring

The nonlocal magnetoconductivity fluctuations in a superconducting submicron ring, with radius comparable to the Ginzburg-Landau coherence length, are studied. The order parameter mode separation yields to the solution of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation and the paraconductivity Fourier components are calculated in the vicinity of the critical temperature, including the critical fluctuation region. The homogeneous component has a logarithmic singularity at T(c) while the other components are found to be not singular.     

Nonlinear conductance fluctuations in a mesoscopic ring

We study the conductance of a single particle on a ring subject to an arbitrary dc electric field, which is generated by a linearly in time increasing magnetic flux. The full quantum mechanical time development is calculated numerically by splitting the dynamics into independent consecutive Zener tunneling transitions and free motion on the ring. The Zener transitions occur near the avoided crossings of the bandstructure which arises from the adiabatic eigenstates as a function of flux in the presence of a static scattering potential. To account for the necessary dissipation the particle is coupled to an appropriate oscillator bath which is adjusted to give a strictly linear current-voltage characteristic for arbitrary voltage and temperature in the absence of scattering. Taking a single δ-function scatterer we find that the dissipative coupling eliminates the localization in energy space found previously and leads to a well defined resistive steady state. The scattering introduces reproducible fluctuations around the average Ohmic behavior which are caused by coherent backscattering. Their magnitude depends on the strength of the scattering potential and decays slowly for large voltages. The associated correlation energy is determined by the uncertainty of the eigenstates due to the dissipative bath coupling. Thermal averaging leads to a decrease of the conductance fluctuations proportional to T^?1.     

Spin splitter regime of a mesoscopic Rashba ring

Using the non-equilibrium Greens' function formalism we calculate the spin currents in a one-dimensional ring coupled to three leads and in the presence of perpendicular magnetic flux Φ and Rashba spin-orbit coupling. A finite bias is applied between the input lead and the other two output leads. We show that the spin-orbit coupling allows one to operate this system as a spin splitter, i.e. the output leads deliver spin-polarized currents with different orientations. We find that the spin splitter operation can be tuned at integer multiples of Φ/Φ₀. Its efficiency depends not only on the value of the Rashba coupling but also on the bias applied between the input and output leads. The selected spin orientation of the output leads can be reversed by a slight change of their contact position. We discuss as well the connection between the spin splitter operation and the spectral properties of the ring.     

Quantum melting of mesoscopic clusters

The phase diagram of a two-dimensional mesoscopic system of charges or dipoles, whose realizations could be electrons in a semiconductor quantum dot or indirect excitons in a system of two vertically coupled quantum dots, is investigated. Quantum calculations using ab initio Monte Carlo integration along trajectories determine the properties of such objects in the temperature-quantum de-Boer-parameter plane. At zero (sufficiently low) temperature, as the quantum fluctuations of the particles increase, two types of quantum disordering phenomena occur with increasing quantum de Boer parameter q: first, for q∼10⁻⁵ the systems transform into a radially ordered but orientationally disordered state wherein various shells of the “atom” rotate relative to one another. For much larger q∼0.1, a transition occurs to a disordered state (a superfluid in the case of a system of bosons). Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 1856–1862 (October 1999)     

Bulk-driven nonequilibrium phase transitions in a mesoscopic ring

We study a periodic one-dimensional exclusion process composed of a driven and a diffusive part. In a mesoscopic limit where both dynamics compete we identify bulk-driven phase transitions. We employ mean-field theory complemented by Monte Carlo simulations to characterize the emerging nonequilibrium steady states. Monte Carlo simulations reveal interesting correlation effects that we explain phenomenologically.     

Electron transport through mesoscopic ring

The quantum transport properties of a non-interacting mesoscopic ring sandwiched between two metallic electrodes are investigated by the use of Green's function technique. Here, we introduce parametric approach, based on the tight-binding model to study these transport properties. The electronic transport properties are focused in three aspects: (a) geometry of the mesoscopic ring, (b) coupling strength of the ring with the two electrodes and (c) magnetic flux threaded by the ring.
