Possible weak temperature dependence of electron dephasing
The first-principle theory of electron dephasing by disorder-induced two state fluctuators is developed. There exist two mechanisms of dephasing. First, dephasing occurs due to direct transitions between the defect levels caused by inelastic electron-defect scattering. The second mechanism is due to violation of the time reversal symmetry caused by time-dependent fluctuations of the scattering ...
متن کاملDephasing by two-level systems at zero temperature by unitary evolution
We analyze the unitary time evolution of a conduction electron, described by a two-level system, interacting with two-level systems (spins) through a spinspin interaction and prove that coherent spin states of the conduction electron are obtained in the strong coupling regime, when the number of the spins is taken to be, formally, infinitely large (thermodynamic limit). Coherent spin states are...
متن کاملLow temperature electron dephasing time in AuPd revisited
Ever since the first discoveries of the quantum-interference transport in mesoscopic systems, the electron dephasing times, τφ, in the concentrated AuPd alloys have been extensively measured. The samples were made from different sources with different compositions, prepared by different deposition methods, and various geometries (1D narrow wires, 2D thin films, and 3D thick films) were studied....
متن کاملDecoherence at zero temperature
Most discussions of decoherence in the literature consider the high temperature regime but it is also known that, in the presence of dissipation, decoherence can occur even at zero temperature. Whereas most previous investigations all assumed initial decoupling of the quantum system and bath, we consider that the system and environment are entangled at all times. Here, we discuss decoherence fo...
متن کاملChaotic temperature dependence at zero temperature
We present a class of examples of nearest-neighbour, bounded-spin models, in which the low-temperature Gibbs measures do not converge as the temperature is lowered to zero, in any dimension.
