Classical limit of transport in quantum kicked maps
Saar Rahav, Piet W. Brouwer
We investigate the behavior of weak localization, conductance fluctuations, and shot noise of a chaotic scatterer in the semiclassical limit. Time resolved numerical results, obtai…
Ehrenfest-time dependence of weak localization in open quantum dots
Saar Rahav, Piet W. Brouwer
Semiclassical theory predicts that the weak localization correction to the conductance of a ballistic chaotic cavity is suppressed if the Ehrenfest time exceeds the dwell time in t…
Rate equations for Coulomb blockade with ferromagnetic leads
Stephan Braig, Piet W. Brouwer
We present a density-matrix rate-equation approach to sequential tunneling through a metal particle weakly coupled to ferromagnetic leads. The density-matrix description is able to…
Mesoscopic bound on anisotropy in itinerant ferromagnets
Piet W. Brouwer, Denis A. Gorokhov
We calculate the anisotropy energy of a single-domain ferromagnetic particle in which the only source of anisotropy is the presence of non-magnetic impurities. We find that such an…
Interaction Effects in the Mesoscopic Regime: A Quantum Monte Carlo Study of Irregular Quantum Dots
Amit Ghosal, C. J. Umrigar, Hong Jiang +2
We address the issue of accurately treating interaction effects in the mesoscopic regime by investigating the ground state properties of isolated irregular quantum dots. Quantum Mo…
Electronic shell effects and the stability of alkali nanowires
D. F. Urban, J. Bürki, A. I. Yanson +4
Experimental conductance histograms for Na nanowires are analyzed in detail and compared to recent theoretical results on the stability of cylindrical and elliptical nanowires, usi…
