Time-Dependent Transport in Mesoscopic Structures
نویسنده
چکیده
A discussion of recent work on time-dependent transport in mesoscopic structures is presented. The discussion emphasizes the use of time-dependent transport to gain information on the charge distribution and its collective dynamics. We discuss the RC-time of mesoscopic capacitors, the dynamic conductance of quantum point contacts and dynamic weak localization effects in chaotic cavities. We review work on adiabatic quantum pumping and photon-assisted transport, and conclude with a list which demonstrates the wide range of problems which are of interest. PACS numbers: 73.23.Ad, 72.10.Bg, 73.40.Gk

Time-dependent analysis of carrier density and potential energy in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD)
Interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. Numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. In this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect InGaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot (SCDQD). The simulation is based on the imaginary time...

The quantum theory for a mesoscopic electric circuit with charge discreteness is investigated. Taking the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian in studding quantum mechanics of dissipative systems, we obtain the persistent current and the energy spectrum of a damped quantum LC-design mesoscopic circuit under the influence of a time-dependent external field.
متن کاملTime-dependent transport: Time domain recursively solving NEGF technique
We present a numerical method in this paper to calculate time-dependent transport properties in mesoscopic systems. This method recursively computes the non-equilibrium Green’s functions (NEGF) in the time domain. In the simulations, we utilize a dynamically allocated data structure to compute current densities in response to input signals of any time duration and arbitrary shape. To demonstrat...
متن کاملThermal transport in superconductor/normal-metal structures
We review experiments over the last ten years on thermal transport in mesoscopic normal metals in contact with a superconductor. The main focus of this effort has been on the exploration of coherent thermal effects in mesoscopic normal-metal/superconductor structures, i.e. effects in which the phase of the quasiparticles participating in thermal transport is important. Coherence in thermal tran...
