Magnetic Manipulation of Massless Dirac Fermions in Graphene Quantum Dot

We have theoretically analyzed the quasibound states in a Mraphene quantum dot （GO, D） with a magnetic flux -φ in the centre. It is shown that the two-fold time reversal degeneracy is broken and the quasibound states of GQD with positive~negative angular momentum shifted upwards/downwards with increasing the magnetic flux. The variation of the quasibound energy depends linearly on the magnetic flux, which is quite different from the parabolic relationship for SchrSdinger electrons. The GQD＇s quasibound states spectrum shows an obvious Aharonov-Bohm （AB） oscillations with the magnetic flux. It is also shown that the quasibound state with energy equal to the barrier height becomes a bound state completely confined in GQD.

本文采用全自洽的格林函数和电子密度泛函理论方法对Z型石墨纳米条带的电子结构和输运性质进行了理论研究。理论计算结果表明Z型石墨纳米条带可以用来设计量子点。由于分子结的特殊几何结构，一些分立电子态可以被囚禁在中间纳米条带内，表现出明显量子限域效应。我们还发现这些被囚禁电子态的数目和它们的空间分布特征是可以调制的，然而这种基于Z型石墨纳米条带的量子点总是可以实现，而不受掺杂、边界化学修饰以及分子结长度的影响     

Coulomb Interaction in Quantum Dot with a Precessing Magnetic Field

We study electronic transport through a quantum dot （QD） with a precessing magnetic field. By using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function method, formulas of local density of states （LDOS） and conductance of QD are derived self-consistently. It shows that the LDOS and conductance have obvious changes with the Coulomb blockade interaction. The intensity and angle of the magnetic field or temperatures, which reflect the mesoscopic structure of the QD are derived. The superiority of this device is that the QD can be controlled easily by the magnetic field, so it is valuable to apply in generating, manipulating and probing spin state.     

Manipulation of Dirac Fermions in Nanochain-Structured Graphene

Graphene has afforded an ideal 2D platform for investigating a rich and fascinating behavior of Dirac fermions.Here,we develop a theoretical mechanism for manipulating the Dirac fermions in graphene,such as from type-Ⅰ to type-Ⅱ and type-Ⅲ,by a top-down nanopatterning approach.We demonstrate that by selective chemical adsorption to pattern the 2D graphene into coupled 1D armchair chains(ACs),the intrinsic isotropic upright Dirac cone becomes anisotropic and strongly tilted.Based on model analyses and first-principles calculations,we show that both the shape and tilt of Dirac cone can be tuned by the species of chemisorption,e.g.,halogen vs hydrogen,which modifies the strength of inter-AC coupling.Furthermore,the topological edge states and transport properties of the engineered Dirac fermions are investigated.Our work sheds lights on understanding the Dirac fermions in a nanopatterned graphene platform,and provides guidance for designing nanostructures with novel functionality.

Electronic and Optical Properties of a Lens Shaped Quantum Dot under Magnetic Field: Second and Third-Harmonic Generation

In the present work, we have studied electronic and optical properties of a lens-shaped quantum dot under an external magnetic field. For this goal, we have calculated the energy levels and wave functions using the finite element method(FEM) for different values of magnetic field. We have also studied effect of magnetic field on second harmonic generation(SHG) and third-harmonic generation(THG) in the lens-shaped quantum dot. In this regard, we have obtained an analytic expression for the SHG and THG by a compact density matrix approach and an iterative procedure. According to the obtained results, it is found that the presence of the magnetic field affects the symmetry of the system. The SHG and THG are decreased with increasing the magnetic field. The magnetic field has a great influence on the energy levels, wave functions, the SHG and THG in a lens shaped quantum dot.     

Dark states and Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in multi-quantum-dot systems

We study the formation of dark states and the Aharonov-Bohm effect in symmetrically/asymmetrically coupled three-and four-quantum-dot systems.It is found that without a transverse magnetic field,destructive interference can trap an electron in a dark state.However,the introduction of a transverse magnetic field can disrupt the dark state,giving rise to oscillation in current.For symmetrically structured quantum-dot systems,the oscillation has a period of one flux quanta.But for asymmetrically structured dot systems,the period of oscillation is halved.In addition,the dephasing due to charge noise also blocks the formation of dark states,while it does not change the period of oscillation.

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Absorptions of a Hydrogenic Donor in a Quantum Dot Under a Magnetic Field

The linear and nonlinear optical properties of a hydrogenic donor in a disc-like parabolic quantum dot in the presence of an external magnetic field are studied. The calculations were performed within the effective mass approximation, using the matrix diagonalization method and the compact density-matrix approach. The linear and nonlinear optical absorption coefficients between the ground （L =0） and the first excited state （L = 1） have been examined based on the computed energies and wave functions. We find that the linear, nonlinear third-order, and total optical absorption coefficients are strongly affected by the confinement strength of QDs, the external magnetic field, and the incident optical intensity.

A Scheme for Spin Manipulation in a Quantum Dot with Both Charge and Spin Bias

We propose a scheme for the effective polarization and manipulation of electron spin by using a quantum dot with both charge and spin bias. Using the equation of motion for Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function, we study the spin accumulation and polarization for the system. Through analytical analysis and a few numerical examples, it is demonstrated that fairly large spin accumulation and polarization can be produced due to the breakingsymmetry of the chemical potential for different electron spin in the leads. Moreover, the direction and the strength of the spin polarization can be conveniently controlled and tuned by varying the charge bias or the gate voltage.     

无限深势阱下杂质量子点的能级计算

在有效质量近似下,垂直方向采用无限深势阱限制势,在x-y平面上,量子点内采用抛物势近似,在量子点边界处采用与实际情况更接近的无限深势阱.在中心杂质电荷为ηe时,利用波函数近似,得到基态和低激发态的能级,与x-y平面均采用抛物势时得到的能级进行了比较.计算发现在量子点真实半径比较小时,电子的基态和低激发态受其影响很大,而相应的能级随量子点的半径逐步增大.在量子点半径大于5倍有效玻尔半径时,能级受其影响已经变得很弱.并且,随着磁场的变化,量子点半径对基态和第一激发态的能级差的影响也很大.最后我们计算了杂质电子的基态束缚能并讨论了声子对其影响.
