    Elimination of negative differential conductance in an asymmetric molecular transistor by an ac-voltage

    Full text link
    We analyze resonant tunneling subject to a non-adiabatic time-dependent bias-voltage through an asymmetric single molecular quantum dot with coupling between the electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom using a {\em Tien-Gordon-type} rate equation. Our results clearly exhibit the appearance of photon-assisted satellites in the current-voltage characteristics and the elimination of hot-phonon-induced negative differential conductance with increasing ac driving amplitude for an asymmetric system. This can be ascribed to an {\em ac-induced suppression} of unequilibrated (hot) phonons in an asymmetric system.Comment: Accepted by Appl. Phys. Let

    Finite-frequency current (shot) noise in coherent resonant tunneling through a coupled-quantum-dot interferometer

    Full text link
    We examine the shot noise spectrum properties of coherent resonant tunneling in coupled quantum dots in both series and parallel arrangements by means of quantum rate equations and MacDonald's formula. Our results show that, for a series-CQD with a relatively high dot-dot hopping Ω\Omega, Ω/Γ≳1\Omega/\Gamma\gtrsim 1 (Γ\Gamma denotes the dot-lead tunnel-coupling strength), the noise spectrum exhibits a dip at the Rabi frequency, 2Ω2\Omega, in the case of noninteracting electrons, but the dip is supplanted by a peak in the case of strong Coulomb repulsion; furthermore, it becomes a dip again for a completely symmetric parallel-CQD by tuning enclosed magnetic-flux.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure

    Soliton solution of continuum magnetization-equation in conducting ferromagnet with a spin-polarized current

    Full text link
    Exact soliton solutions of a modified Landau-Lifshitz equation for the magnetization of conducting ferromagnet in the presence of a spin-polarized current are obtained by means of inverse scattering transformation. From the analytical solution effects of spin-current on the frequency, wave number, and dispersion law of spin wave are investigated. The one-soliton solution indicates obviously current-driven precession and periodic shape-variation as well. The inelastic collision of solitons by which we mean the shape change before and after collision appears due to the spin current. We, moreover, show that complete inelastic collisions can be achieved by adjusting spectrum and current parameters. This may lead to a potential technique for shape control of spin wave.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure

    Entanglement combing

    Full text link
    We show that all multi-partite pure states can, under local operations, be transformed into bi-partite pairwise entangled states in a "lossless fashion": An arbitrary distinguished party will keep pairwise entanglement with all other parties after the asymptotic protocol - decorrelating all other parties from each other - in a way that the degree of entanglement of this party with respect to the rest will remain entirely unchanged. The set of possible entanglement distributions of bi-partite pairs is also classified. Finally, we point out several applications of this protocol as a useful primitive in quantum information theory.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, replaced with final versio

    Stationary and dynamical properties of a zero range process on scale-free networks

    Full text link
    We study the condensation phenomenon in a zero range process on scale-free networks. We show that the stationary state property depends only on the degree distribution of underlying networks. The model displays a stationary state phase transition between a condensed phase and an uncondensed phase, and the phase diagram is obtained analytically. As for the dynamical property, we find that the relaxation dynamics depends on the global structure of underlying networks. The relaxation time follows the power law τ∼Lz\tau \sim L^z with the network size LL in the condensed phase. The dynamic exponent zz is found to take a different value depending on whether underlying networks have a tree structure or not.Comment: 9 pages, 6 eps figures, accepted version in PR
