    Fano regime of transport through open quantum dots
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2010) Racec, Roxana; Wulf, Ulrich; Racec, Paul Nicolae
    We analyze a quantum dot strongly coupled to the conducting leads via quantum point contacts - Fano regime of transport - and report a variety of resonant states which demonstrate the dominance of the interacting resonances in the scattering process in a low confining potential. There are resonant states similar to the eigenstates of the isolated dot, whose widths increase with increasing the coupling strength to the environment, and hybrid resonant states. The last ones are approximatively obtained as a linear combination of eigenstates with the same parity in the lateral direction, and the corresponding resonances show the phenomena of resonance trapping or level repulsion. The existence of the hybrid modes suggests that the open quantum dot behaves in the Fano regime like an artificial molecule quantum point contacts

    R-matrix formalism for electron scattering in two dimensions
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2009) Racec, Paul N.; Racec, Roxana; Neidhardt, Hagen
    We investigate the scattering phenomena in two dimensions produced by a general finite-range nonseparable potential. This situation can appear either in a Cartesian geometry or in a heterostructure with cylindrical symmetry. Increasing the dimensionality of the scattering problem new processes as the scattering between conducting channels and the scattering from conducting to evanescent channels are allowed. For certain values of the energy, called resonance energy, the transmission through the scattering region changes dramatically in comparison with an one-dimensional problem. If the potential has an attractive character even the evanescent channels can be seen as dips of the total transmission. The multi-channel current scattering matrix is determined using its representation in terms of the R-matrix. The resonant transmission peaks are characterized quantitatively through the poles of the current scattering matrix. Detailed maps of the localization probability density sustain the physical interpretation of the resonances. Our formalism is applied to a quantum dot in a two dimensional electron gas and a conical quantum dot embedded inside a nanowire
