Laser-induced diamagnetic anisotropy of coaxial nanowires

The diamagnetic susceptibility of the hydrogenic impurity in coaxial quantum well wires under high frequency laser field has been investigated taking into account the laser dressing effect on both the impurity Coulomb potential and confinement potential. The analysis revealed that a laser beam which is linearly polarized along the wire radial direction destroys the cylindrical symmetry of the donor Hamiltonian, leading to a strong dependence of the electron probability density on the laser field amplitude and orientation of the applied magnetic field. Thus, the direction of the magnetic field can be used as a tunable parameter in the variation of the diamagnetic susceptibility in low-dimensional structures under intense laser radiation. This phenomenon gives an additional degree of freedom in device applications.
