Parity Effect in the Resonant Tunneling

Optofluidic refractometer using resonant optical tunneling effect.

This paper presents the design and analysis of a liquid refractive index sensor that utilizes a unique physical mechanism of resonant optical tunneling effect (ROTE). The sensor consists of two hemicylindrical prisms, two air gaps, and a microfluidic channel. All parts can be microfabricated using an optical resin NOA81. Theoretical study shows that this ROTE sensor has extremely sharp transmis...

Nonlinear Conductance in Resonant Tunneling.

A multiterminal conductance formula describing resonant tunneling through an interacting mesoscopic system is derived and used to investigate the nonlinear conductance of a quantum dot. An explicit gauge-invariant expression for the I-V characteristic which depends sensitively on the full capacitance matrix is obtained. A voltage probe is found to have a dramatic effect on the nonlinear conduct...

Theoretical Investigation of the Resonant Tunneling Phenomena and its Applications in Resonant Tunneling Diodes

Dynamic instability in resonant tunneling

We show that an instability may be present in resonant tunneling through a quantum well in one, two and three dimensions, when the resonance lies near the emitter Fermi level. A simple semiclassical model which simulates the resonance and the projected density of states by a nonlinear conductor, the Coulomb barrier by a capacitance, and the time evolution by an iterated map, is used. The model ...
