We investigate a two-component, cylindrical, quasi-one-dimensional quantum plasma subjected to a {\em radial} confining harmonic potential and an applied magnetic field in the symmetric gauge. It is demonstrated that such a system as can be…
We theoretically investigate a quasi-one-dimensional quantum wire, where the lowest two subbands are populated, in the presence of a helical magnetic field. We uncover a backscattering mechanism involving the helical magnetic field and…
Lecture given at the Landau Institute Seminar, Col de Port, March 1994, intended for a qualitative discussion of recent theoretical results in the physics of 1D quantum wires. The consideration is mainly focused on observable quantities,…
The conductance threshold of a clean nearly straight quantum wire in which a single electron is bound is studied. This exhibits spin-dependent conductance anomalies on the rising edge to the first conductance plateau, near G=0.25(2e^{2}/h)…
In this short communication we address the problem of reducibility in a highly excited Lennard-Jones system. We show that the probability of emitting $n$ fragments can be described in terms of a single probability through the binomial…
It is well known that while forward scattering has no effect on the conductance of one-dimensional systems, backscattering off a static impurity suppresses the current. We study the effect of a time-dependent point impurity on the…
We propose a semi-classical interpretation of the geometric scalar and vector potentials that arise due to Berry's phase when an atom moves slowly in a light field. Starting from the full quantum Hamiltonian, we turn to a classical…
We consider the Schr\"odinger operator with constant transverse magnetic field on a half-plane, endowed with Neumann boundary conditions. We study the low energy currents flowing along the boundary and we establish a Limiting Absorption…
We investigate a Hamiltonian with radial potential wells and an Aharonov-Bohm vector potential with two poles. Assuming that the potential wells are symmetric, we derive the semi-classical asymptotics of the splitting between the ground and…
We give a partial answer to the question whether the Schrodinger equation can be derived from the Newtonian mechanics of a particle in a potential subject to a random force. We show that the fluctuations around the classical motion of a one…
A model system is considered where two dimensional electrons are confined by a harmonic potential in one direction, and are free in the other direction. Ground state in strong magnetic fields is investigated through numerical…
We analyze the calculation of bound states for a nonrelativistic spin-half neutral particle under the influence of a Coulomb-like potential induced by Lorentz symmetry breaking effects. We show that the truncation condition proposed by the…
We analyze the scattering dynamics and spectrum of a quantum particle on a tight-binding lattice subject to a non-Hermitian (purely imaginary) local potential. The reflection, transmission and absorption coefficients are studied as a…
We describe the bound state and scattering properties of a quantum mechanical particle in a scalar $N$-prong potential. Such a study is of special interest since these situations are intermediate between one and two dimensions. The energy…
This paper addresses the scattering of a beam of charged particles by an infinitely long magnetic string in the context of the hydrodynamical approach to quantum mechanics. The scattering is qualitatively analyzed by two approaches. In the…
The ballistic conductance of a coupled $T$-shaped semiconductor quantum wire (CTQW) are studied. Two types of CTQW are considered, one of which is a $\Pi $-shaped quantum wire ($\Pi $QW) which consists of two transverse wires on the same…
We show that, in general, averaging at simple resonances a real--analytic, nearly--integrable Hamiltonian, one obtains a one--dimensional system with a cosine--like potential; ``in general'' means for a generic class of holomorphic…
An existence of predominant symmetrical spin configuration (spin polarised phase) and "diluted" density of states (pseudo-gap) in a layer under the Fermi level in a quantum wire is predicted. The condition of cross-over from non-polarised…
The interaction Hamiltonian of an electron and a quasi-monochromatic pulse of a strong quantized electromagnetic field is examined. Canonical transformations of the field variables are found that allow the division of the system's…
The electron motion in rather strong magnetic fields (when only the lowest Landau level is populated) is considered. In this case the electron kinetic energy is frozen out and the electrons are guided by slowly varied potential. Using the…
