Curved planar quantum wires with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions

چکیده
The spectral properties of curved quantum wires with Dirichlet boundary condition were widely investigated (e.g. [1], [2], [3]). It was shown that any small curvature of the tube in dimensions 2 and 3 produces at least one positive eigenvalue below the essential spectrum threshold. The problem of the existence of such eigenvalues in the straight quantum waveguides with a combination of Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions were also studied (e.g. [4], [5]). In the present paper we consider curved planar quantum wires, where Dirichlet boundary condition is imposed on one side of the wire, while the Neumann boundary condition is imposed on the opposite side. Both boundary conditions represent an impenetrable wall in the sense that there is no current through the boundary. They can model two types of interphases in a solid, e.g. in a superconductor, in principle. It is worth to know whether the presence of two types of interphases leads to new nanoscopic phenomena. We prove that the existence of the discrete eigenvalue essentially depends on the direction of the total bending of the strip. Roughly speaking at least one bound state always exists if the Neumann boundary condition is imposed on the ”outer side” of the boundary, i.e. the one which is locally longer. On the other hand we show that there is no eigenvalue below the essential spectrum threshold provided that the curvature does not change its direction and the Neumann boundary condition is imposed on the inner part of the boundary. We consider a Schrödinger particle whose motion is confined to a curved planar strip of the width d. For definiteness, let a curve Γ : R → R be a C-diffeomorfism of the real axis onto Γ(R). Without loss of generality we can assume Γ̇1(s) 2 + Γ̇2(s) 2 = 1, so s is the arc length of the curve.

A Simple and Systematic Approach for Implementing Boundary Conditions in the Differential Quadrature Free and Forced Vibration Analysis of Beams and Rectangular Plates
This paper presents a simple and systematic way for imposing boundary conditions in the differential quadrature free and forced vibration analysis of beams and rectangular plates. First, the Dirichlet- and Neumann-type boundary conditions of the beam (or plate) are expressed as differential quadrature analog equations at the grid points on or near the boundaries. Then, similar to CBCGE (direct ...
متن کاملBound states in straight quantum waveguides with combined boundary conditions
Quantum waveguides with Dirichlet boundary conditions were extensively studied (e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6] and references therein). Their spectral properties essentially depends on the geometry of the waveguide, especially the existence of bound states induced by curvature [1], [2], [3] or by coupling of straight waveguides through windows [4],[5] were shown. The waveguides with Neumann ...
متن کاملAn efficient approximate method for solution of the heat equation using Laguerre-Gaussians radial functions
In the present paper, a numerical method is considered for solving one-dimensional heat equation subject to both Neumann and Dirichlet initial boundary conditions. This method is a combination of collocation method and radial basis functions (RBFs). The operational matrix of derivative for Laguerre-Gaussians (LG) radial basis functions is used to reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equatio...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theories on Manifolds with Curved Boundaries: Scalar Fields
A framework allowing for perturbative calculations to be carried out for quantum field theories with arbitrary smoothly curved boundaries is described. It is based on an expansion of the Green function for second order differential operators valid in the neighbourhood of the boundary and which is obtained from a corresponding expansion of of the associated heat kernel derived earlier for arbitr...
متن کاملQuantum Effective Action in Spacetimes with Branes and Boundaries
We construct quantum effective action in spacetime with branes/boundaries. This construction is based on the reduction of the underlying Neumann type boundary value problem for the propagator of the theory to that of the much more manageable Dirichlet problem. In its turn, this reduction follows from the recently suggested Neumann-Dirichlet duality which we extend beyond the tree level approxim...
