A three-terminal device formed by two electrostatic barriers crossing an asymmetrically patterned two-dimensional electron gas displays an unusual potential depression at the middle contact, yielding absolute negative resistance. The device displays momentum and current transfer ratios that far exceed unity. The observed reversal of the current or potential in the middle terminal can be interpr...

We demonstrate that branching of the electron flow in semiconductor nanostructures can strongly affect macroscopic transport quantities and can significantly change their dependence on external parameters compared to the ideal ballistic case, even when the system size is much smaller than the mean free path. In a cornershaped ballistic device based on a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas,...

We have developed a method of finding equilibrium Green’s functions for an electron gas with Coulomb interaction within the Kadanoff-Baym-Keldysh approach. This method is based on iterative numerical computation of the retarded self-energy in the self-consistent random-phase approximation. For a two-dimensional electron gas, we have calculated numerically various one-electron properties and the...

– We present a numerical study of magnetic phases of the 2D electron gas near freezing. The calculations are performed by diffusion Monte Carlo in the fixed node approximation. At variance with the 3D case we find no evidence for the stability of a partially polarized phase. With plane wave nodes in the trial function, the polarization transition takes place at rs = 20, whereas the best availab...

Asymptotic quantum transport models of a two-dimensional electron gas are presented. The starting point is a singular perturbation of the threedimensional Schrödinger-Poisson system. The small parameter ε is the scaled width of the electron gas and appears as the lengthscale on which a one dimensional confining potential varies. The rigorous ε→ 0 limit is performed by projecting the three dimen...

in this paper, for the first time we have studied theoretically the effect of exchange-correlation holes around electrons in gaalas/gaas/gaalas nanostructure on the temperature-dependent dynamic dielectric function of two-dimensional electron gas by employing random phase, stls and hubbard approximations. also, we have investigated another interesting system which is coupled quantum wells struc...
