Orbital current mode in elliptical quantum dots
An orbital current mode peculiar to deformed quantum dots is theoretically
investigated; first by using a simple model that allows to interpret
analytically its main characteristics, and second, by numerically solving the
microscopic equations of time evolution after an initial perturbation within
the time-dependent local-spin-density approximation. Results for different
deformations and sizes are shown.Comment: 4 REVTEX pages, 4 PDF figures, accepted in PRB:R
Resonant Raman scattering by collective modes of the one-dimensional electron gas
We show that the low-energy peak in the polarized resonant Raman spectra of
quantum wires, which is commonly associated with ``single particle
excitations'', can be interpreted as signature of intra-band collective spin
excitations. A broad maximum in the resonant depolarized spectra is predicted
to exist above the frequency of the spin density excitation, due to
simultaneous but independent propagation of spin- and charge-density modes.Comment: 4 pages, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Tomonaga-Luttinger features in the resonant Raman spectra of quantum wires
The differential cross section for resonant Raman scattering from the
collective modes in a one dimensional system of interacting electrons is
calculated non-perturbatively using the bosonization method. The results
indicate that resonant Raman spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying
Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behaviour in quasi-one dimensional electron systems.Comment: 4 pages, no figur
AC-conductance of a quantum wire with electron-electron interaction
The complex ac-response of a quasi-one dimensional electron system in the
one-band approximation with an interaction potential of finite range is
investigated. It is shown that linear response is exact for this model. The
influence of the screening of the electric field is discussed. The complex
absorptive conductance is analyzed in terms of resistive, capacitive and
inductive behaviors.Comment: 13 pages, REVTeX, 7 eps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
