Electron waiting times in mesoscopic conductors.
Electron transport in mesoscopic conductors has traditionally involved investigations of the mean current and the fluctuations of the current. A complementary view on charge transport is provided by the distribution of waiting times between charge carriers, but a proper theoretical framework for coherent electronic systems has so far been lacking. Here we develop a quantum theory of electron wa...
متن کاملFloquet theory of electron waiting times in quantum-coherent conductors.
We present a Floquet scattering theory of electron waiting time distributions in periodically driven quantum conductors. We employ a second-quantized formulation that allows us to relate the waiting time distribution to the Floquet scattering matrix of the system. As an application we evaluate the electron waiting times for a quantum point contact, modulating either the applied voltage (externa...
متن کاملCorrelated Electron Transport in One-dimensional Mesoscopic Conductors
Mesoscopic systems have emerged as a result of advanced microfabrication processing. These systems provide a new playground where tailor-made structures are available. This enables the study of quantum phenomena due to dimensional confinement and manipulation of system geometries. Two specific systems are investigated in this dissertation: single-walled carbon nanotubes and quantum point contac...
متن کاملElectron waiting times of a periodically driven single-electron turnstile
We investigate the distribution of waiting times between electrons emitted from a periodically driven single-electron turnstile. To this end, we develop a scheme for analytic calculations of the waiting time distributions for arbitrary periodic driving protocols. We illustrate the general framework by considering a driven tunnel junction before moving on to the more involved single-electron tur...
متن کاملAndreev reflection eigenvalue density in mesoscopic conductors.
The energy-dependent Andreev reflection eigenvalues determine the transport properties of normal-superconducting systems. We evaluate the eigenvalue density to get insight into the formation of resonant electron-hole transport channels. The circuit-theory-like method developed can be applied to any generic mesoscopic conductor or combinations thereof. We present the results for experimentally r...
