Relativistic treatment of harmonics from impurity systems in quantum wires

Castro-Alvaredo, O., Fring, A. & Faria, C. F. D. M. (2003). Relativistic treatment of harmonics from impurity systems in quantum wires. Physical Review B (PRB), 67(12), 125405-.. doi: 10.1103/physrevb.67.125405

Abstract

Within a one particle approximation of the Dirac equation we investigate a defect system in a quantum wire. We demonstrate that by minimally coupling a laser field of frequency omega to such an impurity system, one may generate harmonics of multiples of the driving frequency. In a multiple defect system one may employ the distance between the defects in order to tune the cut-off frequency.
