Transport and optical properties of an electron gas in a Sierpinski carpet
arXiv:1504.00628 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.93.115428
Abstract
Recent progress in the design and fabrication of artificial two-dimensional (2D) materials paves the way for the experimental realization of electron systems moving on plane fractals. In this work, we present the results of computer simulations for the conductance and optical absorption spectrum of a 2D electron gas roaming on a Sierpinski carpet, i.e. a plane fractal with Hausdorff dimension intermediate between one and two. We find that the conductance is sensitive to the spatial location of the leads and that it displays fractal fluctuations whose dimension is compatible with the Hausdorff dimension of the sample. Very interestingly, electrons in this fractal display a broadband optical absorption spectrum, which possesses sharp "molecular" peaks at low photon energies.
