SUMMARY:CMT Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Ted Pudlik\, Boston University\n\nPart of the Condens
	ed Matter Theory Seminar Series.\n\nTitle: CMT group meeting\nAbstract: "A 
	mesoscopic magnetron as an open quantum system" -- The emergence of materia
	ls with room temperature electron mean free paths of a micron or more opens
	 up new possibilities in the design of solid state devices.  One such poten
	tial new paradigm are solid state quasi-free electron devices\, which promi
	se to combine the wide frequency tunability of classical vacuum tube device
	s with the small size and low costs of semiconductor technology.  As a step
	 towards realistic models of these devices\, we develop a quantum mechanica
	l description of a mesoscopic magnetron\, in which the vacuum chamber of th
	e traditional magnetron is replaced with a semiconductor.  We show that the
	 problem can be mapped to a Bose-Hubbard dimer coupled to a dissipative bat
	h and study the effect of the band structure of the medium on device perfor
	mance.
