Abstract
This paper presents a direct solution to the time-dependent Schrodinger equ ation describing electron scattering in nano structures. This approach prov ides complete quantum mechanical information on the transient state of the system under study and can be applied to nano structures with arbitrarily c omplex geometry. As an example, a small rectangular cavity coupled to a nan o wire is studied in detail. Resonance behaviour is observed. (C) 2000 Else vier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
