Fractal conductance fluctuations of classical origin.

چکیده
In mesoscopic systems, conductance fluctuations are a sensitive probe of electron dynamics and chaotic phenomena. We show that the conductance of a purely classical chaotic system, with either fully chaotic or mixed phase space, generically exhibits fractal conductance fluctuations unrelated to quantum interference. This might explain the unexpected dependence of the fractal dimension of the conductance curves on the (quantum) phase breaking length observed in experiments on semiconductor quantum dots.

The project aims to explore two fractal models (by Lowen and Liebovitch) of ion channel kinetics, and how this affects spike train patterns. The project also intends to extend the Liebovitch model and explore how fractal dimension affects potassium ion channel conductance profiles, and the behavior and rate of action potentials. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Fractal patterns have been used to model...
متن کاملImaging fractal conductance fluctuations and scarred wave functions in a quantum billiard.
We present scanning-probe images and magnetic-field plots which reveal fractal conductance fluctuations in a quantum billiard. The quantum billiard is drawn and tuned using erasable electrostatic lithography, where the scanning probe draws patterns of surface charge in the same environment used for measurements. A periodicity in magnetic field, which is observed in both the images and plots, su...
متن کاملScale Invariance, Self Similarity and Critical Behavior in Classical and Quantum Systems
Symmetry and self-affinity or scale invariance are related concepts. We explore the fractal properties of fluctuations in dynamical systems, using some of the available tools in the context of time series analysis. We carry out a power spectrum study in the Fourier domain, the method of detrended fluctuation analysis and the investigation of autocorrelation function behavior. Our study focuses ...
متن کاملCritical regime of two dimensional Ando model: relation between critical conductance and fractal dimension of electronic eigenstates
The critical two-terminal conductance gc and the spatial fluctuations of critical eigenstates are investigated for a disordered two dimensional model of non-interacting electrons subject to spin-orbit scattering (Ando model). For square samples, we verify numerically the relation σc = 1/[2π(2−D(1))] e /h between critical conductivity σc = gc = (1.42 ± 0.005) e /h and the fractal information dim...
متن کاملTheory of random multiplicative transfer matrices and its implications for quantum transport
2014 The two-probe conductance, g, of a disordered quantum system with N tranverse scattering channels is determined by N real parameters ("levels") {03BBi} characterizing the transfer matrix M. The appropriate measure for M combined with a "global" maximum entropy hypothesis, leads to a joint distribution for these levels of the same form as the standard random matrix ensembles, except for the...
