Landauer-Büttiker-type current formula for hybrid mesoscopic systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A general Landauer-Büttiker-type current formula is derived, which can be applied to the ferromagnet (F)/Normal metal (N)/superconductor (S), F/N/N, N/N/S and N/N/N systems in the presence of various kinds of interactions in the central region.

A rigorous proof for the Landauer-Büttiker formula
Recently, Avron et al in [1],...,[5] shed new light on the question of quantum transport in mesoscopic samples coupled to particle reservoirs by semi-infinite leads. They rigorously treat the case when the sample undergoes an adiabatic evolution thus generating a current through the leads, and prove the so called BPT formula, see [9]. Using a discrete model, we complement their work by giving a...
متن کاملQuantum energy flow in mesoscopic dielectric structures
We investigate the phononic energy transport properties of mesoscopic, suspended dielectric wires. The Landauer formula for the thermal conductance is derived and its universal aspects discussed. We then determine the variance of the energy current in the presence of a steady state current flow. In the final part, some initial results are presented concerning the nature of the temperature fluct...
متن کاملLandauer 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 Theory, Inelastic Scattering and Electron Transport in Molecular Wires
In this paper we address the topic of inelastic electron scattering in mesoscopic quantum transport. For systems where only elastic scattering is present, Landauer theory provides an adequate description of transport that relates the electronic current to single-particle transmission and reflection probabilities. A formalism proposed recently by Bonc̆a and Trugman facilitates the calculation of ...
متن کاملAdiabatic Quantum Pumping of Coherent Electrons
We review recent theoretical calculations of charge transfer through mesoscopic devices in response to slowly-oscillating, spatially-confined, potentials. The discussion is restricted to non-interacting electrons, and emphasizes the role of quantum interference and resonant transmission in producing almost integer values (in units of the electronic charge e) of the charge transmitted per cycle,...
