Semiclassical transport through a mesostructure and distribution of classical trajectories

摘要

In this paper, we theoretically study the ballistic transport through a weakly open circular mesostructure within the framework of pseudopath semiclassical approximation. By defining the interference factor and comparing it numerically with the transmission amplitude, we demonstrate that the fluctuations in transmission amplitude are mainly due to the interference effects between different classical trajectories. In addition, we calculate the Fano factor versus cutoff length of classical trajectories in the energy domain to illustrate that the fluctuations in transmission amplitude mainly arise from the contribution of short-length classical trajectories. We further show that the transmission length power spectra not only associate with a lot of classical trajectories but with a series of nonclassical trajectories due to the diffraction scattering effects. Moreover, we show that the classical trajectories distributed in the mode mode coupling function give the largest contribution to the corresponding transmission amplitude. We hope that our results and analysis can be used to reveal new effects of mesoscopic systems and to provide theoretical basis for the design of mesoscopic devices.
