Modular recursive Green’s function method for ballistic quantum transport
A modification of the standard recursive Green’s function method for quantum transport through microstructures is presented which is based on the decomposition into separable substructures. The Green’s functions for these modules are joined by discretized Dyson equations. Nonseparable structures can thereby be calculated with the help of a few recursions with high accuracy. We apply this method...
متن کاملA Modular Method for the Efficient Calculation of Ballistic Transport Through Quantum Billiards
We present a numerical method which allows to efficiently calculate quantum transport through phase-coherent scattering structures, so-called “quantum billiards”. Our approach consists of an extension of the commonly used Recursive Green’s Function Method (RGM), which proceeds by a discretization of the scattering geometry on a lattice with nearest-neighbour coupling. We show that the efficienc...
متن کاملBallistic spin transport without net charge transport in quantum wells
We demonstrate the ballistic transport of electron spin in the absence of net transport of electron charge. Spin-up electrons move in one direction, while an equal number of spin-down electrons move with the same velocities in the opposite direction, yielding no net charge motion. This effect, also referred to as a ‘pure’ spin current, results from the quantum mechanical interference of the tra...
متن کاملQuantum transport through ballistic cavities: soft vs hard quantum chaos
We study transport through a two-dimensional billiard attached to two infinite leads by numerically calculating the Landauer conductance and the Wigner time delay. In the generic case of a mixed phase space we find a power-law distribution of resonance widths and a power-law dependence of conductance increments apparently reflecting the classical dwell time exponent, in striking difference to t...
متن کاملContact Block Reduction Method for Ballistic Quantum Transport with Semi-empirical sp3d5s* Tight Binding band models
The utility of the Contact Block Reduction method (CBR) to find the retarded Green’s function for ballistic quantum devices with semi-empirical tight binding band (TB) models is discussed. This work shows that the original method needs several modifications to be used with TB models. In the common case where two contacts are used for transport in quantum wires, our approach computes the transmi...
