Excited states of two-dimensional hydrogen atom in tilted magnetic field: Quantum chaos

摘要

The aim of the current work is the research of the influence of a tilted magnetic field direction on the spectrum and the energy level spacing distribution of a two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen atom and of an exciton in GaAs/Al0.33Ga0.67As quantum well. It was discovered that the quantum chaos (QC) is initiated with an increasing angle a between the magnetic field direction and the normal to the atomic plane. It is characterized by the repulsion of levels leading to the eliminating of the shell structure and by changing the spectrum statistical properties. The statement about the initiation of chaos and its dominance over regular motion with increasing angle a is confirmed by the results of our calculations of the classical dynamics presented in this paper. The evolution of the spatial distribution of the square of the absolute value of the wave function at an increasing angle a was observed. The differences of calculated dependencies of energies for various excited states on the tilt angle at a wide range of the magnetic field strength were described.
