description | A model is developed for a time dependent transport of a wave packet through a quantum wire with an embedded nanostructure in a perpendicular homogeneous magnetic field. The model is built on the Lippmann-Schwinger formalism of scattering theory in coordinate-momentum space as introduced by Gurvitz [1]. Four different nanostructures are studied by using the model: a constriction, a quantum ring, a donor-like impurity and an acceptor-like impurity. In the results from the simulations we observe phenomena such as skipping orbits, self-interference, and mode mixing, effects which have all been seen in the static case [1-5]. In addition we observe time lags and transition to short or long lived intermediate states, effects that are not directly observable in the static case. [1] S. A. Gurvitz, Phys. Rev.
