Density oscillation in highly flattened quantum elliptic rings and tunable strong dipole radiation

Other Condensed Matter 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A narrow elliptic ring containing an electron threaded by a magnetic field B is studied. When the ring is highly flattened, the increase of B would lead to a big energy gap between the ground and excited states, and therefore lead to a strong emission of dipole photons. The photon frequency can be tuned in a wide range by changing B and/or the shape of the ellipse. The particle density is found to oscillate from a pattern of distribution to another pattern back and forth against BB. This is a new kind of Aharonov-Bohm oscillation originating from symmetry breaking and is different from the usual oscillation of persistent current.
