Variational estimations of the eigenvalues for 3D quantum waveguides in a transverse electric field
Abstract
It is shown that an eigenvalue of the Laplacian exists below the continuous spectrum for a system of threedimensional quantum waveguides laterally coupled via a small window and placed in a transverse electric field, and the estimation for the eigenvalue is obtained. A field induced shift of the eigenvalue is estimated by using a variation.
