Abstract

The time-evolution of the wavepacket inside chaotic and integrable two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures is numerically studied. We have found the enhancement around the classical periodic orbits during the time-evolution in the stadium billiard. It is similar to the scars in the standing wave of the chaotic billiards. The initial position and velocity, and the shape of the wavepacket are crucial for the enhancement, but we can observe that the remnant of the initial wavepacket travels along the unstable periodic orbit. Then the wavepacket gradually diffuses around the structure. This behavior has close relation to the dynamical properties of electrons in the structure, e.g., the conductivity, the magneto-resistance etc. The quantum fidelity, which can measure the robustness of dynamical states inside the nanostructures, is also discussed.
