Zitterbewegung of electronic wave packets in semiconductor nanostructures
John Schliemann, Daniel Loss, R. M. Westervelt
We study the zitterbewegung of electronic wave packets in III-V zinc-blende semiconductor quantum wells due to spin-orbit coupling. Our results suggest a direct experimental proof…
Thermal Electron Wavepacket Interferometry: Derivation and New Results
E. J. Heller, K. E. Aidala, B. J. LeRoy +5
A novel formal equivalence between thermal averages of coherent properties (e.g. conductance), and time averages of a single wavepacket arises for Fermi gasses and certain geometri…
Coulomb scattering cross-section in a 2D electron gas and production of entangled electrons
D. S. Saraga, B. L. Altshuler, Daniel Loss +1
We calculate the Coulomb scattering amplitude for two electrons injected with opposite momenta in an interacting 2DEG. We include the effect of the Fermi liquid background by solvi…
Microelectromagnets for the manipulation of biological systems
H. Lee, A. M. Purdon, R. M. Westervelt
Microelectromagnet devices, a ring trap and a matrix, were developed for the microscopic control of biological systems. The ring trap is a circular Au wire with an insulator on top…
Micromanipulation of magnetotactic bacteria with a microelectromagnet matrix
H. Lee, A. M. Purdon, V. Chu +1
Micromanipulation of magnetotactic bacteria with a microelectromagnet matrix was demonstrated. Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize a chain of magnetic nanoparticles inside their body…
