Abstract
We study, by numerical simulations, the effect of topology on coherent electron transport through cylindrical junctions and bent cylindrical surfaces. The dynamics of a particle bound to a curved surface is described by a modified Schroedinger equation depending on two curvilinear coordinates. The modeling approach based on a finite-difference discretization of the latter equation is described, and a comparison with the standard solution of Schroedinger equation for flat surfaces is given. The effect of the geometrical parameters of the structures is reported.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
