| Summary: | We demonstrated theoretically that a circularly polarized electromagnetic field substantially modifies electronic properties of a periodical chain of quantum rings. Particularly, the field opens band gaps in the electron energy spectrum of the chain, generates edge electron currents, and induces the Fano-like features in the electron transport through the finite chain. These effects create physical prerequisites for the development of optically controlled nanodevices based on a set of coupled quantum rings. |
