Theoretical Study of Quantum Transports in Mesoscopic Systems

  1. Electrical Conduction in Carbon Nanotubes
    We have investigated electronic transport in carbon nanotubes by using both analytic (effective-mass scheme) and numerical methods (recursive Green's function) in the presence and absence of magnetic fields. We have shown an absence of back scattering in metallic carbon nanotubes, even when scatterers have a potential range longer than the lattice constant. [Absence of Back Scattering] We have also investigated the effect of point defects [Point Defects] and topological defects [Topological Defects] on carbon nanotubes, contact with dirty electrode [Contact] and crossed nanotubes. [Crossed Carbon Nanotubes] Logic circuits with nanotube transistors have studied with experimentalists. [Application]
  2. Fano effects in an Aharonov-Bohm ring with a quantum dot
    The quantum transport in an AB ring with a quantum dot has been studied. We have shown Fano effects in the calculated conductance and given an explanation for the recent experiment by Kobayashi et al. (PRL 88, 256806 (2002).
  3. Fermi-Edge Singularity in a Lateral Periodic Potential
    This work is a collaboration with experimentalists.
  4. Numerical Study of Quantum Transport Using Equation-of-Motion Method
    We have investigated weak-localization phenomena in two-dimensional systems in the presence of time-dependent potentials by solving numerically the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.
  5. Quantum Transport in Antidot Lattices
    We have explained AAS oscillations observed in the magneto resistance in antidot lattices by using recursive Green's function technique.
  6. Variational Monte Carlo Calculation in Two-Dimensional Hubbard Model
  7. Stark Ladder in Superlattices
