Model Device

By using the nonequilibrium Green function method, the photon-assisted electron transport through a graphene-based device similar to STM model is studied theoretically and numerically. The device is composed of a single central site (quantum dot) modulated by an oscillating electric field, a one-dimensional quantum wire and a two-dimensional graphene sheet. Some interesting results on transmission probability and current–voltage ([Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text]) characteristics of the device are given in this paper. In the presence of an oscillating electric field, we find that besides the central two transmission peaks caused by graphene part, there appear photon-assisted peaks which are distributed on both sides of the Fermi level. The positions of the photon-assisted peaks are linear to the frequency of the oscillating electric field, and the widths of the photon-assisted peaks are relevant to the amplitude of the oscillating electric field. It is found that the current–voltage graphs exhibit step growth due to the existence of photon-assisted tunneling. We hope these results may have guidance meaning for the fabrication of optoelectronic devices.

Nonequilibrium Green Function

Within the framework of the density functional theory in the local density approximation and the nonequilibrium Green function method (DFT + NEGF), electron transport was studied in a nanodevice consisting of a 2'-amino-4-ethynylphenyl-4'-ethynylphenyl-5'-nitro-1-benzenethiol molecule placed between gold electrodes. Current-voltage, dI/dV-characteristics, transmission spectrum and electron density of a nanodevice are calculated. It is shown that the current-voltage characteristic of the considered nanodevice in the voltage range of -0.8÷0.9 V acquires an N-shape and appears on it a section with negative differential resistance due to resonant tunneling of quasiparticles. The same changes are observed on the dI/dV-characteristic. The results obtained may be useful for calculating new promising electronic switching devices.

Unmagnetized Plasma

An infinite, inhomogeneous electron plasma driven by a spatially uniform oscillating electric field is investigated. The multi-time perturbation method is used to analyze possible parametric excitations of transverse waves and to evaluate their growth rates. It is shown that there exist subharmonic excitations of: (1) a pair of transverse waves in an unmagnetized plasma and (2) a pair of one right and one left circularly polarized wave in a magnetoplasma. Additionally, parametric excitation of two right or two left circularly polarized waves with different frequencies can exist in a magnetoplasma. The subharmonic excitations are impossible whenever the density gradient and the applied electric field are perpendicular. However, parametric excitation is possible with all configurations.

In the present work, we propose that a one-dimensional quantum heterostructure composed of magnetic and non-magnetic (NM) atomic sites can be utilized as a spin filter for a wide range of applied bias voltage. A simple tight-binding framework is given to describe the conducting junction where the heterostructure is coupled to two semi-infinite one-dimensional NM electrodes. Based on transfer matrix method, all the calculations are performed numerically which describe two-terminal spin-dependent transmission probability along with junction current through the wire. Our detailed analysis may provide fundamental aspects of selective spin transport phenomena in one-dimensional heterostructures at nanoscale level.
