شبیه سازی اثر بی نظمی و میدان مغناطیسی بر ترابرد کوانتومی نانوساختارهای دو بعدی مدل شده با تقریب تنگابست
In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
متن کاملDensity of states and the energy gap in Andreev billiards
The density of states in a normal metal in contact with a superconductor is affected by the superconductor, as a manifestation of the proximity effect or Andreev reflection. In the early days of superconductivity, this effect had been observed in thin films of normal metal on a superconducting substrate. It has been shown theoretically that for clean films the spectrum of quasiparticle excitati...

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 کاملConductance of T-shaped Graphene nanodevice with single disorder
Disordered T-shaped graphene nanodevice (TGN) was designed and studied in this paper. We demonstrated the intrinsic transport properties of the TGN by using Landauer approach. Knowing the transmission probability of an electron the current through the system is obtained using Landauer-Buttiker formalism. The effects of single disorder on conductance, current and on the transport length scales a...
