Many-Body Effects on Tunneling of Electrons in Magnetic-Field-Induced Quasi One-Dimensional Electron Systems in Semiconductor Nanowhiskers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of the electron-electron interaction on tunneling in a semiconductor nanowhisker are studied in a magnetic quantum limit. We consider the system with which bulk and edge states coexist. In bulk states, the temperature dependence of the transmission probability is qualitatively similar to that of a one-dimensional electron system. We investigate contributions of edge states on transmission probability in bulk states. Those contributions can be neglected within our approximation which takes into account only most divergent terms at low temperatures.

Calculation of Quasi-one-dimensional Interacting Electron Gas Using the Hartree-Fock Method
In this paper, the Hartree-Fock method has been formulated to investigate some of the ground state properties of quasi-one-dimensional interacting electron gas in the presence of the magnetic field. The bare coulomb interaction between electrons has been assumed. For this system, we have also computed some of its thermodynamic and magnetic properties such as the energy, pressure, incompressibil...
متن کاملTunneling from a correlated two-dimensional electron system transverse to a magnetic field
We show that in a magnetic field parallel to a two-dimensional ~2D! electron layer, strong electron correlations can change the rate of tunneling from the layer to the 3D continuum exponentially. It leads to a specific density dependence of the escape rate. The mechanism is a dynamical Mössbauer-type recoil, in which the Hall momentum of the tunneling electron is partly transferred to the whole...

Advances in the semiconductor technologies allow the realization of quantum dot structure in which a finite number of electrons are confined by an artificial potentials [1–3]. The number of electrons in a quantum dot, denoted N , which can also be controlled experimentally, affects many physical properties of the quantum dot. By changing the quantum dot size and the number of electrons, far-inf...

Introduction: Integrated radiation therapy - MRI systems are capable of delivering high doses to the target tissues near sensitive organs and achieve better therapeutic results; however, the Applied magnetic fields for imaging, can influence the charged path, change the penetration depth and deflect the particles, laterally, leading to dose distribution variations. Therefore, i...
متن کاملCorrelations Weak and Strong: Divers Guises of the Two-dimensional Electron Gas
The three-dimensional electron-gas model has been a major focus for many-body theory applied to the electronic properties of metals and semiconductors. Because the model neglects band effects, whereas electronic systems are generally more strongly correlated in narrow band systems, it is most widely used to describe the qualitative physics of weakly correlated metals with unambiguous Fermi liqu...
