Acoustoconductance of quantum contacts
We describe theoretically the acoustoconductance (AC) of quantum contacts. One characteristic of a contact which distinguishes it from a long, uniform wire is a strong, energy-dependent transmission probability. This has several consequences for AC. Electrons which are forward scattered by phonons can contribute to AC and, furthermore, AC can have positive sign (i.e. a conductance-increase unde...

متن کاملAdiabatic dynamics of superconducting quantum point contacts.
Starting from the quasiclassical equations for non-equilibrium Green's functions we derive a simple kinetic equation that governs ac Josephson effect in a superconducting quantum point contact at small bias voltages. In contrast to existing approaches the kinetic equation is valid for voltages with arbitrary time dependence. We use this equation to calculate frequency-dependent linear conductan...
متن کاملConduction channels of superconducting quantum point contacts
Atomic quantum point contacts accommodate a small number of conduction channels. Their number N and transmission coe$cients M1 n N can be determined by analyzing the subgap structure due to multiple Andreev re#ections in the current}voltage (I}<) characteristics in the superconducting state. With the help of mechanically controllable break-junctions we have produced Al contacts consisting of a ...
متن کاملNoise of Series Quantum Point Contacts
Shot noise of series quantum point contacts forming a sequence of cavities in a two dimensional electron gas are studied theoretically and experimentally. Noise in such a structure originates from local scattering at the point contacts as well as from chaotic motion of the electrons in the cavities. The observed shot noise allows to distinguish between noise of the point contacts and noise from...
