Single-particle subband structure of Quantum Cables
We proposed a model of Quantum Cable in analogy to the recently synthesized
coaxial nanocable structure [Suenaga et al. Science, 278, 653 (1997); Zhang et
al. ibid, 281, 973 (1998)], and studied its single-electron subband structure.
Our results show that the subband spectrum of Quantum Cable is different from
either double-quantum-wire (DQW) structure in two-dimensional electron gas
(2DEG) or single quantum cylinder. Besides the double degeneracy of subbands
arisen from the non-abelian mirrow reflection symmetry, interesting
quasicrossings (accidental degeneracies), anticrossings and bundlings of
Quantum Cable energy subbands are observed for some structure parameters. In
the extreme limit (barrier width tends to infinity), the normal degeneracy of
subbands different from the DQW structure is independent on the other structure
parameters.Comment: 12 pages, 9 figure
Quantum Cable as transport spectroscopy of 1D DOS of cylindrical quantum wires
We considered the proposed Quantum Cable as a kind of transport spectroscopy
of one-dimensional (1D) density of states (DOS) of cylindrical quantum wires.
By simultaneously detecting the direct current through the cylindrical quantum
wire and the leaked tunneling current into the neighboring wire at desired
temperatures, one can obtain detailed information about 1D DOS and subband
structure of cylindrical quantum wires.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, late

Superfluid-Mott-Insulator Transition in a One-Dimensional Optical Lattice with Double-Well Potentials
We study the superfluid-Mott-insulator transition of ultracold bosonic atoms
in a one-dimensional optical lattice with a double-well confining trap using
the density-matrix renormalization group. At low density, the system behaves
similarly as two separated ones inside harmonic traps. At high density,
however, interesting features appear as the consequence of the quantum
tunneling between the two wells and the competition between the "superfluid"
and Mott regions. They are characterized by a rich step-plateau structure in
the visibility and the satellite peaks in the momentum distribution function as
a function of the on-site repulsion. These novel properties shed light on the
understanding of the phase coherence between two coupled condensates and the
off-diagonal correlations between the two wells.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
Ballistic electronic transport in Quantum Cables
We studied theoretically ballistic electronic transport in a proposed
mesoscopic structure - Quantum Cable. Our results demonstrated that Qauntum
Cable is a unique structure for the study of mesoscopic transport. As a
function of Fermi energy, Ballistic conductance exhibits interesting stepwise
features. Besides the steps of one or two quantum conductance units (),
conductance plateaus of more than two quantum conductance units can also be
expected due to the accidental degeneracies (crossings) of subbands. As
structure parameters is varied, conductance width displays oscillatory
properties arising from the inhomogeneous variation of energy difference
betweeen adjoining transverse subbands. In the weak coupling limits,
conductance steps of height becomes the first and second plateaus for
the Quantum Cable of two cylinder wires with the same width.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure
Superconductivity mediated by the antiferromagnetic spin-wave in chalcogenide iron-base superconductors
The ground state of KFeSe and other iron-based
selenide superconductors are doped antiferromagnetic semiconductors. There are
well defined iron local moments whose energies are separated from those of
conduction electrons by a large band gap in these materials. We propose that
the low energy physics of this system is governed by a model Hamiltonian of
interacting electrons with on-site ferromagnetic exchange interactions and
inter-site superexchange interactions. We have derived the effective pairing
potential of electrons under the linear spin-wave approximation and shown that
the superconductivity can be driven by mediating coherent spin wave excitations
in these materials. Our work provides a natural account for the coexistence of
superconducting and antiferromagnetic long range orders observed by neutron
scattering and other experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
