Scattering properties of a cut-circle billiard waveguide with two conical leads
1Center for Studies in Statistical Mechanics and Complex Systems, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712, USA.
Abstract:
We examine a two-dimensional electron waveguide with a cut-circle cavity and conical leads. By considering Wigner delay times and the Landauer-Büttiker conductance for this system, we probe the effects of the closed billiard energy spectrum on scattering properties in the limit of weakly coupled leads. We investigate how lead placement and cavity shape affect these conductance and time delay spectra of the waveguide.
