Impurity Scattering of Wave Packets on a Lattice
Wonkee Kim, L. Covaci, F. Marsiglio
Abstract
Quantum transport in a lattice is distinct from its counterpart in continuum media. Even a free wave packet travels differently in a lattice than in the continuum. We describe quantum scattering in a one dimensional lattice using three different formulations and illustrate characteristics of quantum transport such as resonant transmission. We demonstrate the real time propagation of a wave packet and its phase shift due to impurity configurations. Spin-flip scattering is also taken into account in a spin chain system. We show how individual spins in the chain evolve as a result of a spin-flip interaction between an incoming electron and a spin chain.
