Imaging a 1-electron InAs quantum dot in an InAs/InP nanowire
A. C. Bleszynski-Jayich, L. E. Froberg, M. T. Bjork +3
Nanowire heterostructures define high-quality few-electron quantum dots for nanoelectronics, spintronics and quantum information processing. We use a cooled scanning probe microsco…
Imaging Magnetic Focusing of Coherent Electron Waves
K. E. Aidala, R. E. Parrott, T. Kramer +4
The magnetic focusing of electrons has proven its utility in fundamental studies of electron transport. Here we report the direct imaging of magnetic focusing of electron waves, sp…
Imaging Electrical Conduction through InAs Nanowires
Ania C. Bleszynski, Floris A. Zwanenburg, Robert M. Westervelt +3
We show how a scanning probe microscope (SPM) can be used to image electron flow through InAs nanowires, elucidating the physics of nanowire devices on a local scale. A charged SPM…
Imaging electrons in a magnetic field
Katherine E. Aidala, Robert E. Parrott, E. J. Heller +1
We present simulations of an imaging mechanism that reveals the trajectories of electrons in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), as well as simulations of the electron flow in z…
Zitterbewegung of electrons and holes in III-V semiconductor quantum wells
John Schliemann, Daniel Loss, R. M. Westervelt
The notion of zitterbewegung is a long-standing prediction of relativistic quantum mechanics. Here we extend earlier theoretical studies on this phenomenon for the case of III-V zi…
Electronic Structure of Multiple Dots
M. Stopa, A. Vidan, T. Hatano +2
We calculate, via spin density functional theory (SDFT) and exact diagonalization, the eigenstates for electrons in a variety of external potentials, including double and triple do…
