Magnetic-field asymmetry of electron wave packet transmission in bent channels capacitively coupled to a metal gate
arXiv:0807.1385 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.102.066807
Abstract
We study the electron wave packet moving through a bent channel. We demonstrate that the packet transmission probability becomes an uneven function of the magnetic field when the electron packet is capacitively coupled to a metal plate. The coupling occurs through a non-linear potential which translates a different kinetics of the transport for opposite magnetic field orientations into a different potential felt by the scattered electron.
