Wannier-Stark Localization In Modulation-Doped Multiple-Quantum-Well Structures, Roger H. Yu Feb 1994

Wannier-Stark Localization In Modulation-Doped Multiple-Quantum-Well Structures, Roger H. Yu

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

The external-electric-field effect and the doping effect on a modulation-doped finite-length GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs superlattice have been studied by solving the Schrödinger-Kohn-Sham equation and the Poisson equation self-consistently. In the heavy-doping case, the external electric field makes electrons sequentially tunnel through several potential barriers, and accumulates electrons near one side of the finite-length superlattice. The collective motion of the electrons results in high- and low-field domains in the superlattice. We have found that Wannier-Stark localization exists only in the high-field domain, and that the electronic states are not evenly spaced. The electric-field-induced (doping induced) depopulation (population) of subbands …


Mass Spectrum And Correlation Functions Of Non-Abelian Quantum Magnetic Monopoles, E. C. Marino, Rudnei O. Ramos Jan 1994

Mass Spectrum And Correlation Functions Of Non-Abelian Quantum Magnetic Monopoles, E. C. Marino, Rudnei O. Ramos

Dartmouth Scholarship

The method of quantization of magnetic monopoles based on the order-disorder duality existing between the monopole operator and the Lagrangian fields is applied to the description of the quantum magnetic monopoles of't Hooft and Polyakov in the SO(3) Georgi-Glashow model. The commutator of the monopole operator with the magnetic charge is computed explicitly, indicating that indeed the quantum monopole carries 4πg units of magnetic charge. An explicit expression for the asymptotic behavior of the monopole correlation function is derived. From this, the mass of the quantum monopole is obtained. The tree-level result for the quantum monopole mass is shown to …

Energy spectra of both protons and deuterons emitted following the capture of negative muons by 3He nuclei have been measured for energies above 15 MeV. A limited number of proton-neutron pairs emitted in coincidence were also observed. A simple plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA) model calculation yields fair agreement with the measured proton energy spectra, but underpredicts the measured rate of deuteron production above our energy threshold by a large factor. A more sophisticated PWIA calculation for the two-body breakup channel, based on a realistic three-body wave function for the initial state, is closer to the deuteron data at …
