چکیده
We present a theoretical investigation of the electronic and optical properties of V-and T-shaped quantum wires. Valence band mixing as well as realistic sample geometries are fully included through an accurate and efficient approach that is described here in detail. We investigate the resulting valence band structure, which shows some significant peculiarities, such as an anomalously large spin splitting in the lowest heavy hole subband of T-shaped wires. For both classes of wires we obtain good agreement between calculated optical absorption and recent experimental spectra, and we demonstrate that the analysis of optical anisotropy can be used as an effective tool to extract information on valence states, usually very difficult to obtain otherwise.

The two–dimensional (2D) t–t’–Hubbard model is studied within the slave–boson (SB) theory. At half–filling, a paramagnetic to antiferromagnetic phase transition of first order at a finite critical interaction strength Uc(t /t) is found. The dependences on U/t and t/t of the sublattice magnetization and of the local magnetic moment are calculated. Our results reasonably agree with recent (Projec...

We propose a phase diagram for the vortex structure of high temperature superconductors which incorporates the effects of anisotropy and disorder. It is based on numerical simulations using the three-dimensional Josephson junction array model. We support the results with an estimation of the internal energy and configurational entropy of the system. Our results give a unified picture of the beh...

We present a combined theoretical and experimental study of the anisotropy in the optical absorption of V-shaped quantum wires. By means of realistic band structure calculations for these structures, we show that detailed information on the heavy-and light-hole states can be singled out from the anisotropy spectra independently of the electron confinement, thus allowing accurate valence band sp...
