Tunneling in asymmetric double well: instanton calculus
The level splitting formula of an asymmetric double well potential is calculated taking into account the multi-instanton contributions (dilute gas approximation). Results can be related with known semiclassical ones obtained with a truncated hamiltonian, and the symmetric case is easily recovered provided we consider the right limit. ICP: 03.65, 02.30 Instanton calculations when applied in Quan...
متن کاملMechanism of rectification in tunneling junctions based on molecules with asymmetric potential drops.
This paper proposes a mechanism for the rectification of current by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates with Fc head groups (SC(11)Fc) in SAM-based tunneling junctions with ultra-flat Ag bottom electrodes and liquid metal (Ga(2)O(3)/EGaIn) top electrodes. A systematic physical-organic study based on statistically large numbers of data (N = 300-1000) reached the conclusion that o...
متن کاملA THEORY OF VACUUM TUNNELING MICROSCOPY1
A theory for tunneling between a real surface and a model probe tip, applicable to the "scanning tunneling microscope" is presented. The tunneling current is found to be proportional to the local density of states of the surface, at the position of the tip. It can be shown that the tunneling conductance has exponential dependence on the distance of the nearest approach to the surface
متن کاملChiral phase transition and instanton-anti-instanton molecules.
In this paper we explore the idea that the chiral phase transition in QCD can be described as a transition from a disordered instanton liquid to a strongly correlated phase of polarized instanton anti-instanton molecules. We calculate the degree of polarization of the molecules as a function of the temperature and show that the resulting T-dependence of the fermion determinant drives the chiral...
متن کاملChaos-assisted instanton tunneling in one-dimensional perturbed periodic potential.
For the system with a one-dimensional spatially periodic potential we demonstrate that small periodic in-time perturbation results in the appearance of chaotic instanton solutions. We estimate the parameter of local instability, the width of the stochastic layer, and the correlator for perturbed instanton solutions. The application of the instanton technique enables us to calculate the amplitud...
