Influence of time-periodic potentials on electronic transport in double-well structure

Within the framework of the Floquet theorem, we haveinvestigated single-electron photon-assisted tunneling in adouble-well system using the transfer matrix technique. Thetransmission probability displays satellite peaks on the both sidesof main resonance peaks and these satellite peaks originate fromemission or absorption photons. The single-electron resonancetunneling can be control through changing applied harmonicallypotential positions, such as driven potential in wells, in barriers,or in whole double-well system. This advantage should be useful inthe optimization of the parameters of a transmission device.
