Quantum energy flow in mesoscopic dielectric structures
نویسنده
چکیده
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 fluctuations of a mesoscopic electron gas thermometer due to the absorption and emission of wire phonons.

Quantum energy flow, dissipation and decoherence in mesoscopic dielectric structures
We first present a summary of recent results concerning the phononic energy transport properties of mesoscopic, suspended dielectric wires. We then discuss some related open problems concerning the fundamental lower limits on the vibrational damping rates of submicron-sized cantilever structures and also the possibility to create and detect quantum superpositions of spatially separated states f...

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 کاملSoft matter and fractional mathematics: insights into mesoscopic quantum and time-space structures
Recent years have witnessed a great research boom in soft matter physics. By now, most advances, however, are of empirical results or purely mathematical extensions. The major obstacle is lacking of insights into fundamental physical laws underlying fractal mesostructures of soft matter. This study will use fractional mathematics, which consists of fractal, fractional calculus, fractional Brown...
متن کاملFano resonances of microwave structures with embedded magneto-dipolar quantum dots
Long range dipole-dipole correlation in a ferromagnetic sample can be treated in terms of collective excitations of the system as a whole. Ferrite samples with linear dimensions smaller than the dephasing length, but still much larger than the exchange-interaction scales, are mesoscopic structures. Recently, it was shown that mesoscopic quasi-2D ferrite disks, distinguishing by multiresonance m...
متن کاملThe mesoscopic conductance of ballistic rings
The calculation of the conductance of ballistic rings requires a theory that goes well beyond the Kubo-Drude formula. Assuming “mesoscopic” circumstance of very weak environmental relaxation, the conductance is much smaller compared with the naive expectation. Namely, the electro-motiveforce induces an energy absorption with a rate that depends crucially on the possibility to make connected seq...
