Chaotic Scattering in the Gaussian Potential
1995
It is well known that general classical Hamiltonian dynamical systems have as a rule chaotic behaviour. By such a term one usually understands a sensitive dependence on initial conditions which manifests itself in the topology of phase space. For the most studied case of bounded motions this behaviour is detected, for example, by analysing the Poincare surfaces of section and by calculating Lyapunov characteristic exponents. The question then naturally arises of what are the effects of this complexity on the unbounded motions, i.e., on scattering phenomena. The signature of chaotic dynamics in these scattering regions of phase space has been the object of several papers appeared mainly in t…
Unified model of fractal conductance fluctuations for diffusive and ballistic semiconductor devices
2006
We present an experimental comparison of magnetoconductance fluctuations measured in the ballistic, quasiballistic, and diffusive scattering regimes of semiconductor devices. In contradiction to expectations, we show that the spectral content of the magnetoconductance fluctuations exhibits an identical fractal behavior for these scattering regimes and that this behavior is remarkably insensitive to device boundary properties. We propose a unified model of fractal conductance fluctuations in the ballistic, quasiballistic, and diffusive transport regimes, in which the generic fractal behavior is generated by a subtle interplay between boundary and material-induced chaotic scattering events.
Fractal Weyl law for open quantum chaotic maps
2014
We study the semiclassical quantization of Poincar\'e maps arising in scattering problems with fractal hyperbolic trapped sets. The main application is the proof of a fractal Weyl upper bound for the number of resonances/scattering poles in small domains near the real axis. This result encompasses the case of several convex (hard) obstacles satisfying a no-eclipse condition.
