The scattering properties of one-dimensional potential with gain are studied by using a Schrödinger-like equation. The corresponding Hamiltonian is non-Hermitian with a real energy spectrum. The amplification-absorption duality previously observed is interpreted in terms of the transmission and reflection phases. For a rectangular barrier, the transmission phase oscillates with the barrier width as for passive systems, but the oscillations period is significantly reduced in the absorption region. In this region the reflection phase vanishes and the multiple scattering and interferences dominate. The gain effect is also investigated for double barrier structures as well as superlattices with active potentials. It is found that resonant tunneling energy and the mini-band width are not influenced by the gain, but the transmission is enhanced for small values of the potential imaginary part. For large values, the resonant transmission significantly decreases and the mini-bands disappear.

In this paper, we study the transmission through a mesoscopic ring with a quantum dot embedded in one of its arms with the one-dimensional wave guide theory. We discuss the detailed process of the phase change when a resonant tunneling through the dot occurs. We find that when the state of the dot is far from a resonance, the transmission coefficient is periodic with a period equal to the flux quantum Φ0. However, when a resonant tunneling through the dot occurs, the transmission coefficient is a periodic function of Φ with a period [Formula: see text]. This phenomenon is consistent with the experimental results.

Restricting ourselves to a simple rectangular approximation but using properly a two-scale regularization procedure, additional resonant tunneling properties of the one-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a delta derivative potential are established, which appear to be lost in the zero-range limit. These "intrinsic" properties are complementary to the main already proved result that different regularizations of Dirac's delta function produce different limiting self-adjoint operators. In particular, for a given regularizing sequence, a one-parameter family of connection condition matrices describing bound states is constructed. It is proposed to consider the convergence of transfer matrices when the potential strength constant is involved into the regularization process, resulting in an extension of resonance sets for the transmission across a δ′-barrier.

Transport properties of mesoscopic rings confined between potential barriers are considered. Also considered is the double barrier structure with barriers fabricated of rings connected by a one-dimensional wire. Such structures we define as Aharonov-Bohm diodes with resonant tunneling (ABDRT) because for zero external magnetic flux their transport properties are quite similar to diodes with resonant tunneling (DRT). However, application of external magnetic flux gives rise to new resonant peaks of transmission determined by the quantization condition of the rings. Positions and widths of these novel flux induced resonant peaks extremely depend on the flux.
