Elastic wave transmission at an abrupt junction in a thin plate with application to heat transport and vibrations in mesoscopic systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transmission coefficient for vibrational waves crossing an abrupt junction between two thin elastic plates of different widths is calculated. These calculations are relevant to ballistic phonon thermal transport at low temperatures in mesoscopic systems and the Q for vibrations in mesoscopic oscillators. Complete results are derived in a simple scalar model of the elastic waves, and results for long-wavelength modes are obtained using full elasticity theory. We suggest that thin-plate elasticity theory provides a useful and tractable approximation to the three-dimensional geometry.

In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
