Quantum transport of composite fermions in narrow constrictions
نویسنده
چکیده
We elaborate on a single-mode description of the ballistic charge transport through a narrow constriction in a compressible (composite fermion) Quantum Hall liquid. In the presence of long-range Coulomb interactions we find logarithmic deviations from the Luttinger liquid behavior. These extra logarithmic factors are shown to modify the conductance, shot noise spectrum, and other observables.

Perfect reflection of chiral fermions in gated graphene nanoribbons.
We describe the results of a theoretical study of transport through gated metallic graphene nanoribbons using a nonequilibrium Green function method. Although analogies with quantum field theory predict perfect transmission of chiral fermions through gated regions in one dimension, we find perfect reflection of chiral fermions in armchair ribbons for specific configurations of the gate. This ef...

Quantum point contacts are cornerstones of mesoscopic physics and central building blocks for quantum electronics. Although the Fermi wavelength in high-quality bulk graphene can be tuned up to hundreds of nanometres, the observation of quantum confinement of Dirac electrons in nanostructured graphene has proven surprisingly challenging. Here we show ballistic transport and quantized conductanc...

We construct a new representation of composite fermion wave functions in the lowest Landau level which enables Monte Carlo computations at arbitrary filling factors for a fairly large number of composite fermions, thus clearing the way toward a more detailed quantitative investigation of the fractional quantum Hall effect. As an illustrative application, thermodynamic estimates for the transpor...
متن کاملPhotoconductance of a one-dimensional quantum dot
The ac-transport properties of a one-dimensional quantum dot with non-Fermi liquid correlations are investigated. It is found that the linear photoconductance is drastically influenced by the interaction. While for weak interaction it shows peak-like resonances, in the strong interaction regime it assumes a step-like behavior. In both cases the photo-transport provides precise informations abou...

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) serve as a new class of ‘zero dimensional’ nanomaterial’s in thecarbon class with sizes below 10 nm. As light emitting nanocrystals, QDs are assembled from semiconductormaterials, from the elements in the periodic groups of II-VI, III-V or IV-VI, mainly thanks to impacts of quantum confinement QDs have unique optical properties such as brighter, highly pho...
