Influence of time-periodic potentials on electronic transport in double-well structure

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/19/5/057202

Abstract Within the framework of the Floquet theorem, we have investigated single-electron photon-assisted tunneling in a double-well system using the transfer matrix technique. The transmission probability displays satellite peaks on the both sides of main resonance peaks and these satellite peaks originate from emission or absorption photons. The single-electron resonance tunneling can be control through changing applied harmonically potential positions, such as driven potential in wells, in barriers, or in whole double-well system. This advantage should be useful in the optimization of the parameters of a transmission device.

Keywords: photon-assisted tunneling transmission probability quantum well
