摘要
A mesoscopic structure is fabricated such that the desired dominant modes of the acoustic phonons in the structure have wavelengths such that the length of a half-integral number of wavelengths equals the length of the structure through which the desired electron wave is propagating. A manner of achieving this object is to provide for a material in a quantum wire and a material at the end of the quantum wire such that the two materials have such different properties (as disclosed hereinafter) to abruptly dampen the phonon modes at the interface between the two materials. With such an interface, a clamped boundary condition will occur and the modes of amplitude can be assumed to vanish at the interface. Such a case applies at some metal-semiconductor interfaces. In particular, for a mesoscopic device having wire-like regions which terminate on a variety of metal regions (regions used as contacts, gates, barriers, etc.), it is satisfactory to apply clamped boundary conditions. At these boundaries, the acoustic modes will have nodes instead of the anti-nodes that are established in the case of an open boundary.
