(2672) Inelastic scattering on a two site target
Consider a scattering problem that is described by the Hamiltonian
\( H = \frac{p^2}{2M} - \frac{h}{2} \sigma_z + u \delta(x-(a/2)\sigma_x) \)
.
Note that
\( \delta(x-(a/2)\sigma_x) \)
can be expressed as sum
of
\( [(1+\sigma_x)/2]\delta(x-(a/2)) \)
and
\( [(1-\sigma_x)/2]\delta(x+(a/2)) \)
.
The target is prepared in the lower level, and hence looks like
a double barrier. The kinetic energy of the incident particle is $E$.
Write the matching equations at
\( x=-a/2 \)
and at $x=+a/2$.
Explain in what limits the problem reduces to Fabry-Perrot.
Find the explicit solution of the scattering problem
for $h=0$ and for $|h|=\infty$.
