Abstract

Electron ballistic transport in 2D quantum waveguide with two narrowings is considered. For longitudinal electron motion such narrowings play the role of effective potential barriers and conditions for resonant tunneling arise. If the electron energy is sufficiently high the electron wave can scatter into different quantum states (transverse channels of the leads) which results in complicated E-dependence of the scattering amplitudes. Numerical simulations have shown that the scattering amplitudes resonances are of Fano type. The form of the transmission probability curve is conditioned by interference of the quantum states into which the electron wave is scattered by the narrowings. The suggested interference model makes possible to find the resonance parameters with high precision and to link them to the closed resonator eigenvalues.
