After a top-down, insightful presentation of the elements of mesoscopic devices and transport theory, a computational technique which treats multiterminal structures of arbitrary geometry and topology is developed. The method relies on the modular assembly of the electronic propagators of subsystems which are inter- or intra-connected providing large flexibility in system setups combined with high computational efficiency. Conductance control is first demonstrated for elongated quantum billiards and arrays thereof where a weak magnetic field tunes the current by phase modulation of interfering lead-coupled states geometrically separated from confined states. Soft-wall potentials are then employed for efficient and robust conductance switching by isolating energy persistent, collimated or magnetically deflected electron paths from Fano resonances. In a multiterminal configuration, the guiding and focusing property of curved boundary sections enables magnetically controlled directional transport with input electron waves flowing exclusively to selected outputs. Together with a comprehensive analysis of characteristic transport features and spatial distributions of scattering states, the results demonstrate the geometrically assisted design of magnetoconductance control elements in the linear response regime.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;927SemiconductorsOptical materialsElectronic materialsNanotechnologyMagnetismMagnetic materialsNanoscale scienceNanoscienceNanostructuresSemiconductorshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Nanotechnology and Microengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000Magnetism, Magnetic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25129Nanoscale Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25140Semiconductors.Optical materials.Electronic materials.Nanotechnology.Magnetism.Magnetic materials.Nanoscale science.Nanoscience.Nanostructures.Semiconductors.Optical and Electronic Materials.Nanotechnology and Microengineering.Magnetism, Magnetic Materials.Nanoscale Science and Technology.530.416Morfonios Christian Vauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut959453Schmelcher Peterauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910250049503321Control of Magnetotransport in Quantum Billiards2174106UNINA
