Theory of one-dimensional double-barrier quantum pump in two-frequency signal regime
A one-dimensional system with two -like barriers or wells
bi-chromaticaly oscillating at frequencies and is
considered. The alternating signal leads to the direct current across the
structure (even in a symmetric system). The properties of this quantum pump are
studied in a wide range of the system parameters.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Properties of 1D two-barrier quantum pump with harmonically oscillating barriers
We study a one-dimensional quantum pump composed of two oscillating
delta-functional barriers. The linear and non-linear regimes are considered.
The harmonic signal applied to any or both barriers causes the stationary
current. The direction and value of the current depend on the frequency,
distance between barriers, value of stationary and oscillating parts of barrier
potential and the phase shift between alternating voltages.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
Conductivity of 2D many-component electron gas, partially-quantized by magnetic field
The 2D semimetal consisting of heavy holes and light electrons is studied.
The consideration is based on assumption that electrons are quantized by
magnetic field while holes remain classical. We assume also that the
interaction between components is weak and the conversion between components is
absent. The kinetic equation for holes colliding with quantized electrons is
utilized. It has been stated that the inter-component friction and
corresponding correction to the dissipative conductivity {\it do
not vanish at zero temperature} due to degeneracy of the Landau levels. This
correction arises when the Fermi level crosses the Landau level.
The limits of kinetic equation applicability were found. We also study the
situation of kinetic memory when particles repeatedly return to the points of
their meeting.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur
Hole-hole interaction in a strained InGaAs two dimensional system
The interaction correction to the conductivity of 2D hole gas in strained
GaAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum well structures was studied. It is shown
that the Zeeman splitting, spin relaxation and ballistic contribution should be
taking into account for reliable determination of the Fermi-liquid constant
. The proper consideration of these effects allows us to describe
both th temperature and magnetic field dependences of the conductivity and find
the value of .Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
Photocurrent in nanostructures with asymmetric antidots
The steady current induced by electromagnetic field in a 2D system with
asymmetric scatterers is studied. The scatterers are assumed to be oriented
cuts with one diffusive and another specular sides. Besides, the existence of
isotropic impurity scatterers is assumed. This simple model simulates the
lattice of half-disk which have been studied numerically recently. The model
allows the exact solution in the framework of the kinetic equation. The static
current response in the second order of electric field is obtained. The
photogalvanic tensor contains both responses to linear and circular
polarization of electromagnetic field. The model possesses non-analyticity with
regards to the rate of impurity scattering.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Anomalous Negative Magnetoresistance Caused by Non-Markovian Effects
A theory of recently discovered anomalous low-field magnetoresistance is
developed for the system of two-dimensional electrons scattered by hard disks
of radius randomly distributed with concentration For small magnetic
fields the magentoresistance is found to be parabolic and inversely
proportional to the gas parameter, With increasing field the magnetoresistance becomes linear
in a good agreement with the
experiment and numerical simulations.Comment: 4 pages RevTeX, 5 figure
