Lec10: Modelled the scatterer X as a finite step potential in a certain region. Dresselhaus p. 144: static scattering, scattering by a potential in one dimension Modelled the wavelike e- as having energy E > or < V0 and got a transmission probability T E > barrier height V0 E < barrier height V0 VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Point01: The phase and amplitude at electrode 2 can be obtained from the phase and amplitude at electrode 1 E > V0 Phase and amplitude are the same E< V0 Amplitude is reduced but phase is the same. m1 m2 E > V0 E < V0 Phase: e- as wave is same at both contacts. This is the origin of the unchanged contact resistance GC-1 = RC VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Point02: Everywhere: Transport is by occupying a discreet energy level, “channel”. Say that there are M channels in the 1-DEG. Datta Dresselhaus VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Point02: Everywhere: Transport is by occupying a discreet energy level, “channel”. Say that there are M channels in the 1-DEG. T is the transmission probability for a channel to go from electrode 1 to electrode 2, which is given by the sum of the sum of the transmission probability from the ith to the jth channel VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

This is a representation of 2 scatterers.Go from 2 scatterers to N scatterers per unit length L.What happens to the transmission probability T: R2 R1 VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability for 2 scatterers: T = T12: Include the forward reflections that rein forces the transmission: 1 back-forth then out 2 back-forth then out VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability for 2 scatterers: T = T12: Eliminate R1 and R2: VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability for 2 scatterers: T = T12: Ratio the Reflection to the Transmission probability: VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability for 2 scatterers: T = T12: That’s interesting. That Ratio is additive: Assuming that the scatterers are identical: VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability for N identical scatterers: You’ll get the same result for N identical scatterers: VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability for N identical scatterers: Now solve for transmission probability T(N): VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
Transmission probability T(N) => T(L): Re-write N in terms of n = N/L: Define a “how far do you get length” L0: L0 is similar to a mean free path Lm but in terms of T versus lots/few R VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

Landauer-Buttiker formalism: Very briefly: why: 3/ How close is your probe to a scatterer: e- wave interference zero reading? 2/ Due to a physical bending, probe P1 couples preferentially to -kx states, while probe P2 couples preferentially to +kx states. You could read normal, very low or negative resistance depending on T. VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13
