Conductance properties of a confined electron gas in a strong magnetic field

Miscellaneous Kinaret, J.M.

The thesis consists of three parts. In the first part I discuss conductance properties of a quasi-one-dimensional disordered conductor in the integer quantum Hall regime. I describe the system numerically by an Anderson model with random on-site disorder. In this approximation electron-electron interaction s are ignored and the two-probe conductance of the wire can be evaluated using a recursive Green`s function method. I interpret the results using the edge state picture and show that deviations from the quantized conductance values can be explained by interband scattering, which is strongest near band edges. In the second part of my thesis Imore »« less
Final Report: Novel nanowires as probes of electron coherence and correlations in restricted geometries (DE-FG03-01ER45946)

Technical Report Douglas Natelson

This is a final summary report of the research conducted under DE-FG03-01ER45946, which was a research program using metal nanostructures to examine quantum coherence of electrons in normal and ferromagnetic metals. This program was the PI's first federal research grant, and by augmenting with other funds (Packard Foundation), this grant supported two graduate students during its duration. In normal metal nanostructures, quantum coherence was assessed by two independent techniques: weak localization magnetoresistance, and time-dependent universal conductance fluctuations (TDUCF noise). This work found that, in AuPd nanowires, the coherence information inferred from these two techniques were quantitatively consistent, even in themore »« less

Fabrication and carrier transport phenomena of one-dimensional quantum wires of p-type silicon

Journal Article Iwano, H. ; Zaima, S. ; Koide, Y. ; ...

Fabrication of p-type Si quantum wires in n-type substrates has been performed by selective implantation of focused ion beams of Ga. It has been confirmed that this method and associated device structure have the advantage of being able to control the diameter of quantum wires. This is accomplished by applying a reverse substrate bias to change the depletion width of the pn junctions. The conductance shows a distinctive temperature dependence of 1n([sigma]) [proportional to] T[sup [minus]1/2], which coincides with the characteristic of one-dimensional (1D) hopping conductance. At 4.2 K, the authors have observed electrical properties characteristic of 1D systems, suchmore »« less

Ballistic thermal transport in a cylindrical semiconductor nanowire modulated with bridge contacts

Journal Article Zhang, Yong, E-mail: apzhangyong@126.com ; Xie, Zhong-Xiang, E-mail: xiezxhu@163.com ; Yu, Xia ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Using the scattering-matrix method, we studied ballistic phonon transmission and thermal conductance at low temperatures in a cylindrical quantum wire with bridge contacts. The transmission coefficient exhibited a stepped profile, which became more evident as the bridge radius increased. When the dimensions of the bridge are identical to those of main wires, we observed a quantum platform of the thermal conductance, even in the presence of interface scattering. When the dimensions of the bridge are smaller than those of main wires, however, we could not observe the quantum platform. We also revealed other interesting physical properties, such as universal quantummore »« less
