Resonance Patterns of an Antidot Cluster: From Classical to Quantum Ballistics

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We explain the experimentally observed Aharonov-Bohm (AB) resonance patterns of an antidot cluster by means of quantum and classical simulations and Feynman path integral theory. We demonstrate that the observed behavior of the AB period signals the crossover from a low B regime which can be understood in terms of electrons following classical orbits to an inherently quantum high B regime where this classical picture and semiclassical theories based on it do not apply.
