Abstract

The authors study switching in laterally coupled quantum wires under conditions where their sidewall confinement strongly influences the transmission properties of their coupling region. Their analysis suggests that the low-temperature behavior of the currents in this regime results from the influence of inevitable structural asymmetry on the quantum-level structure of the quantum wires.
