Origin of strong scarring of wavefunctions in quantum wells in a tilted magnetic field
arXiv:cond-mat/9705167 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.80.49
Abstract
The anomalously strong scarring of wavefunctions found in numerical studies of quantum wells in a tilted magnetic field is shown to be due to special properties of the classical dynamics of this system. A certain subset of periodic orbits are identified which are nearly stable over a very large interval of variation of the classical dynamics; only this subset are found to exhibit strong scarring. Semiclassical arguments shed further light on why these orbits dominate the experimentally observed tunneling spectra.
