Modeling transient aspects of coherence-driven electron transport
نویسنده
چکیده
Non-equilibrium Green’s function formalism (NEGF) by employing timedependent (TD) perturbation theory is used to solve the electronic equations of motion of model systems under potential biasing conditions. The time propagation is performed in the full frequency domain of the two time variables representation. We analyze transient aspects of the resulting conductance under effects of applied direct-current and alternating current potentials. The coherence induced response dependence on different aspects of the applied perturbation is resolved in time and analyzed using calculated TD distributions of the current operator.

The effects of cut-off walls on repulsing saltwater based on modeling of density-driven groundwater flow and salt transport
Abstract: A two-dimensional fully implicit finite difference model, which can be easily extended to three dimensions, is developed to study the effect of cut-off walls on saltwater intrusion into the aquifers. This model consists of a coupled system of two nonlinear partial differential equations which describe unsteady density-driven groundwater flow and solute transport. The numerica...
متن کاملPhoton-assisted transport in semiconductor nanostructures
In this review we focus on electronic transport through semiconductor nanostructures which are driven by ac fields. Along the review we describe the available experimental information on different nanostructures, like resonant tunneling diodes, superlattices or quantum dots, together with the theoretical tools needed to describe the observed features. These theoretical tools such as, for instan...
متن کاملCoherent quantum switch driven by optimized laser pulses
We present two models of coherent quantum switches constructed from a single-electron quantum ring and a double quantum dot, respectively. The systems are driven by picosecond laser pulses obtained using quantum optimal control theory. The optimized pulses generate electron-current flips in the ring (magnetic switch) and electron transport in the double dot (charge switch) in significantly shor...

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...
متن کاملSpintronics: electron spin coherence, entanglement, and transport
The prospect of building spintronic devices in which electron spins store and transport information has attracted strong attention in recent years. Here we present some of our representative theoretical results on three fundamental aspects of spintronics: spin coherence, spin entanglement, and spin transport. In particular, we discuss our detailed quantitative theory for spin relaxation and coh...
