Bound states for nano-tubes with a dislocation

Abstract: As a model for an interface in solid state physics, we consider two real-valued potentials

V^{(1)}

and

V^{(2)}

on the cylinder or tube

S = m a t h b b R i m e s (m a t h b b R / m a t h b b Z)

where we assume that there exists an interval

(a_{0}, b_{0})

which is free of spectrum of

- D e l t a + V^{(k)}

for

k = 1, 2

. We are then interested in the spectrum of

H_{t} = - D e l t a + V_{t}

, for

t i n m a t h b b R

, where

V_{t} (x, y) = V^{(1)} (x, y)

, for

x > 0

, and

V_{t} (x, y) = V^{(2)} (x + t, y)

, for

x < 0

. While the essential spectrum of

H_{t}

is independent of

t

, we show that discrete spectrum, related to the interface at

x = 0

, is created in the interval

(a_{0}, b_{0})

at suitable values of the parameter

t

, provided

- D e l t a + V^{(2)}

has some essential spectrum in

(- i n f t y, a_{0}]

. We do not require

V^{(1)}

or

V^{(2)}

to be periodic. We furthermore show that the discrete eigenvalues of

H_{t}

are Lipschitz continuous functions of

t

if the potential

V^{(2)}

is locally of bounded variation.
