Abstract
Classical and quantum dynamics are important limits for the understanding of the transport characteristics of interacting electrons in nanodevices. Here we apply an intermediate semiclassical approach to investigate the dynamics of two interacting electrons in a planar nanochannel as a function of Coulomb repulsion and electric field. We find that charge is mostly redistributed to the channel edges and that an electric field enhances the particle-like character of electrons. These results may have significant implications for the design and study of future nanodevices.
