“Effects of lateral asymmetry on electronic structure of strained semiconductor nanorings in a magnetic field”. Milošević, MM, Tadić, M, Peeters FM, Nanotechnology 19 (2008). http://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/19/45/455401
Abstract: The influence of lateral asymmetry on the electronic structure and optical transitions in elliptical strained InAs nanorings is analyzed in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Two-dimensional rings are assumed to have elliptical inner and outer boundaries oriented in mutually orthogonal directions. The influence of the eccentricity of the ring on the energy levels is analyzed. For large eccentricity of the ring, we do not find any AharonovBohm effect, in contrast to circular rings. Rather, the single-particle states of the electrons and the holes are localized as in two laterally coupled quantum dots formed in the lobes of the nanoring. Our work indicates that the control of shape is important for the existence of the AharonovBohm effect in semiconductor nanorings.

“Quantum tunneling through graphene nanorings”. Wu Z, Zhang ZZ, Chang K, Peeters FM, Nanotechnology 21, 185201 (2010). http://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/21/18/185201
Abstract: We investigate theoretically quantum transport through graphene nanorings in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Our theoretical results demonstrate that the graphene nanorings behave like a resonant tunneling device, contrary to the Aharonov-Bohm oscillations found in conventional semiconductor rings. The resonant tunneling can be tuned by the Fermi energy, the size of the central part of the graphene nanorings and the external magnetic field.

“Resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped graphene nanoribbons”. Zhang ZZ, Wu ZH, Chang K, Peeters FM, Nanotechnology 20, 415203 (2009). http://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/20/41/415203
Abstract: We theoretically investigate resonant tunneling through S- and U-shaped nanostructured graphene nanoribbons. A rich structure of resonant tunneling peaks is found emanating from different quasi-bound states in the middle region. The tunneling current can be turned on and off by varying the Fermi energy. Tunability of resonant tunneling is realized by changing the width of the left and/or right leads and without the use of any external gates.
