The dielectric environment of thin semiconductor nanowires can affect the charge transport properties inside the wire. In this work, it is shown that Coulomb impurity scattering in thin nanowires can be damped strongly by coating the wire with a high-! dielectric. This leads to an increase in the mobility of free charges inside the wire and can be used as a post-growth technique to improve the ...

Wire saw, with its ability to cut very thin wafers from large diameter crystalline ingots of semiconductor materials, has emerged as a leading technology for wafer production in semiconductor and photovoltaic industry. Nevertheless, the wire saw cutting process remains lacking a theoretical methodology and is not properly understood. The modern times compulsion of more accurate and efficient ma...

The aim of the present paper is to elucidate some geometrically induced spectral properties for the Laplacian in L(R) perturbed by a negative multiple of the Dirac measure of an infinite curve Γ in the plane. This problem has at least two motivations. On the physics side we note that quantum mechanics of electrons confined to narrow tubelike regions has attracted a considerable interest, becaus...

We propose an experiment to test Bell’s inequality violation in condensed-matter physics. We show how to generate, manipulate and detect entangled states using ballistic electrons in Coulomb-coupled semiconductor quantum wires. Due to its simplicity (only five gates are required to prepare entangled states and to test Bell’s inequality), the proposed semiconductor-based scheme can be implemente...

The theory of large radius polaron in the quantum wire is developed. The interaction of charge particles with interface optical phonons as well as with optical phonons localized in the quantum wire is taken into account. The interface phonon contribution is shown to be dominant for narrow quantum wires. The wave functions and polaron binding energy are found. It is determined that polaron bindi...

An atom attached to a micrometer-scale wire that is vibrating at a frequency ∼100 MHz and with displacement amplitude ∼1 nm experiences an acceleration magnitude ∼109 m s−2, approaching the surface gravity of a neutron star. As one application of such extreme noninertial forces in a mesoscopic setting, we consider a model two-path atom interferometer with one path consisting of the 100 MHz vibr...
