We have analyzed the effect of electron-LO phonon interaction in a doublebarrier resonant tunneling structure under a magnetic field B applied parallel to the tunneling current. While the low temperature anti-crossing phenomenon has already been investigated, here we study the phonon absorption resonant magnetotunneling at finite temperatures. The Matsubara technique is used to sum up resonant ...

The physical mechanism of the interface states in layered structures consisting of single-negative metamaterials is investigated using a simple resonant cavity model. We found that the interface states and their corresponding tunneling transmission modes appeared when the resonant condition is satisfied. Such resonant condition depends on the phase changes inside the resonant cavity. Based on t...

Transmission zero engineering in lateral double-barrier resonant tunneling devices is investigated. We show that, by inserting a resonant cavity in the quantum well region of a lateral double-barrier resonant tunneling structure and engineering the placement of transmission zero-pole pairs, the current peak-to-valley ratio of the device can be drastically improved at low temperature. An advanta...

A relativistic study on lifetime of resonant tunneling states in the case of the double barrier system consisting of rectangular potential barriers has been studied. This study reveals the fact that as compared to the non-relativistic resonant tunneling states the relativistic resonant states occur in the lower energies but they are having shorter lifetime..

The resonant tunneling effects that could result in complete transmission of evanescent waves are examined in acoustic metamaterials of anisotropic effective mass. The tunneling conditions are first derived for the metamaterials composed of classical mass-in-mass structures. It is found that the tunneling transmission occurs when the total length of metamaterials is an integral number of half-w...

In this paper, piezoresistive properties of resonant tunneling structure made of undoped InGaAs/AlAs double-barrier quantum layers have been experimentally investigated, and the resonant tunneling structure was grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on semi-insulation (001)-oriented GaAs substrate. We found that the piezoresistivity of such quantum layers is about one order higher than that of t...

Issues involved in the tunneling of deuterons in metal deuterides are considered in relation to experimental claims of anomalies in metal deuterides. From earlier studies, screening is thought to be similar to the case of molecular D2. Resonant tunneling has been advocated in the literature as a possible mechanism to achieve tunneling enhancements. We develop a two-level system for a piecewise ...

Resonant tunneling through two identical potential barriers renders them transparent, as particle trajectories interfere coherently. Here we realize resonant tunneling in a quantum dot (QD), and show that detection of electron trajectories renders the dot nearly insulating. Measurements were made in the integer quantum Hall regime, with the tunneling electrons in an inner edge channel coupled t...

The Selective Resonant tunneling model is compared with Bethe’s early model for the solar energy calculation. They are similar in considering the resonance effect, the weak interaction, and the assumption for nuclear potential and the Coulomb barrier in order to obtain the correct result for the energy density in the sun. However, the selectivity of resonant tunneling is new in the present sele...
