Abstract: Spin-orbit gap feature in energy dispersion of
one-dimensional devices is revealed via strong spin-orbit interaction
(SOI) effects under Zeeman field. We describe the utilization
of a finger-gate or a top-gate to control the spin-dependent
transport characteristics in the SOI-Zeeman influenced split-gate
devices by means of a generalized spin-mixed propagation matrix
method. For the finger-gate system, we find a bound state in
continuum for incident electrons within the ultra-low energy regime.
For the top-gate system, we observe more bound-state features
in conductance associated with the formation of spin-associated
hole-like or electron-like quasi-bound states around band thresholds,
as well as hole bound states around the reverse point of the
energy dispersion. We demonstrate that the spin-dependent transport
behavior of a top-gate system is similar to that of a finger-gate system
only if the top-gate length is less than the effective Fermi wavelength.
Abstract: In this paper, an analytical approach for free vibration
analysis of four edges simply supported rectangular Kirchhoff plates
is presented. The method is based on wave approach. From wave
standpoint vibration propagate, reflect and transmit in a structure.
Firstly, the propagation and reflection matrices for plate with simply
supported boundary condition are derived. Then, these matrices are
combined to provide a concise and systematic approach to free
vibration analysis of a simply supported rectangular Kirchhoff plate.
Subsequently, the eigenvalue problem for free vibration of plates is
formulated and the equation of plate natural frequencies is
constructed. Finally, the effectiveness of the approach is shown by
comparison of the results with existing classical solution.
