Semiclassical theory of magnetotransport through a chaotic quantum well

arXiv:cond-mat/9707073 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.80.4024

Abstract

We develop a quantitative semiclassical formula for the resonant tunneling current through a quantum well in a tilted magnetic field. It is shown that the current depends only on periodic orbits within the quantum well. The theory explains the puzzling evolution of the tunneling spectra near a tilt angle of $30^{\circ}$ as arising from an exchange bifurcation of the relevant periodic orbits.
