By simply varying the magnetic field we reveal spatial bifurcations of electron orbits at a fixed emission energy, which is referred to as the fold caustic in classical motion. The quantum manifestations of these singularities display a series of intermittent divergences in electronic flux distributions. We introduce semiclassical uniform approximation to repair the electron wavefunctions locally in a mixed phase space and obtain reasonable results. The approximation provides a better treatment of the problem.展开更多

Math. Sci., 2013, 11（1）： 105-140], to the more general vector- valued Schrodinger problems in the semi-classical regime. The key ingredient in the global geometrical optics method is a moving frame technique in the phase space. The governing equation is transformed into a new equation but of the same type when expressed in any moving frame induced by the underlying Hamiltonian flow. The classical Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin （WKB） analysis benefits from this treatment as it maintains valid for arbitrary but fixed evolutionary time. It turns out that a WKB-type function defined merely on the underlying Lagrangian submanifold can be obtained with the help of this moving frame technique, and from which a uniform first-order approximation of the wave field can be derived, even around caustics. The general theory is exemplified by two specific instances. One is the two-level SchrSdinger system and the other is the periodic SchrSdinger equation. Numerical tests validate the theoretical results.展开更多
