摘要
Based on a one dimensional quantum wave guide theory, we investigate the ballistic conductance through an Aharonov Bohm ring with a quantum gate. The analytical expression of the conductance is exactly obtained as the function of magnetic flux penetrating the ring and Fermi energy of indcident electrons. When Fermi energy equals that of bound states in the isolated stub, the conductance is fixed at a constant value which is only determined by the geometric structure of the ring system. We have found that there are a new kind of conductance oscillations for some special mesoscopic ring systems. As Fermi energy of incident electrons crosses that of bound state in the isolated stub, the conductance oscillations have no abrupt change of phase by π and are in phase. This striking feature is not in ageement with that of previous experiments and theories. The mechanism causing this new feature is discussed.
