Landauer Formula without Landauer’s Assumptions
The Landauer formula for dissipationless conductance lies at the heart of modern electronic transport, yet it remains without a clear microscopic basis. We analyze the Landauer formula microscopically, and give a straightforward quantum kinetic derivation for open systems. Some important experimental implications follow. These lie beyond the Landauer result as popularly received. In 1957 Rolf L...
متن کاملLandauer and Thouless Conductance: a Band Random Matrix Approach
We numerically analyze the transmission through a thin disordered wire offinite length attached to perfect leads, by making use of banded random Hamiltonian matrices. We compare the Landauer and the Thouless conductances. and find that they are proportional to each other in the diffusive regime, while in the localized regime the Landauer conductance is approximately proportional to the square o...
متن کاملThe conductance of a multi-mode ballistic ring: beyond Landauer and Kubo
– The Landauer conductance of a two terminal device equals to the number of open modes in the weak scattering limit. What is the corresponding result if we close the system into a ring? Is it still bounded by the number of open modes? Or is it unbounded as in the semi-classical (Drude) analysis? It turns out that the calculation of the mesoscopic conductance is similar to solving a percolation ...
متن کاملUnified model for conductance through DNA with the Landauer-Buttiker formalism
In this work, we model the zero-bias conductance for the four different DNA strands that were used in conductance measurement experiment [A. K. Mahapatro, K. J. Jeong, G. U. Lee and D. B. Janes, Nanotechnology, 18, 195202 (2007)]. Our approach consists of three elements: (i) abinitio calculations of DNA, (ii) Green’s function approach for transport calculations and (iii) the use of two paramete...
متن کاملBeyond Landauer Erasure
In thermodynamics, one considers thermal systems and the maximization of entropy subject to the conservation of energy. A consequence is Landauer’s erasure principle, which states that the erasure of one bit of information requires a minimum energy cost equal to kT ln(2), where T is the temperature of a thermal reservoir used in the process and k is Boltzmann’s constant. Jaynes, however, argued...
