Scattering of two-dimensional Dirac fermions on gate-defined oscillating quantum dots
arXiv:1412.3134 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.91.045130
Abstract
Within an effective Dirac-Weyl theory we solve the scattering problem for massless chiral fermions impinging on a cylindrical time-dependent potential barrier. The set-up we consider can be used to model the electron propagation in a monolayer of graphene with harmonically driven quantum dots. For static small-sized quantum dots scattering resonances enable particle confinement and interference effects may switch forward scattering on and off. An oscillating dot may cause inelastic scattering by excitation of states with energies shifted by integer multiples of the oscillation frequency, which significantly modifies the scattering characteristics of static dots. Exemplarily the scattering efficiency of a potential barrier with zero bias remains finite in the limit of low particle energies and small potential amplitudes. For an oscillating quantum dot with finite bias, the partial wave resonances at higher energies are smeared out for small frequencies or large oscillation amplitudes, thereby dissolving the quasi-bound states at the quantum dot.
