Resonant tunneling in natural photosynthetic systems

Time-dependent transport in interacting and noninteracting resonant-tunneling systems.

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...

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 ...

Resonant Tunneling throughQuantumDots

Motivated by recent experiments we analyse a new setup of capacitively coupled semiconductor quantum dots. We identify a region where Kondo-assisted tunneling should be observable. We nd an eeective mapping to a single quantum dot with controllable multi-level structure. We study electron transport through strongly coupled quantum dots in the presence of strong Coulomb repulsion and coupling to...
