Non-Cayley-tree model for quasiparticle decay in a quantum dot

X. Leyronas, J. Tworzydlo, C. W. J. Beenakker

The decay of a quasiparticle in a confined geometry, resulting from electron-electron interactions, has been mapped onto the single-electron problem of diffusion on a Cayley tree b…

Thermopower of atomic-size metallic contacts

B. Ludoph, J. M. van Ruitenbeek

The thermopower and conductance of atomic-size metallic contacts have been simultaneously measured using a mechanically controllable break junction. For contacts approaching atomic…

The Thermopower of Quantum Chaos

S. F. Godijn, S. Moeller, H. Buhmann +2

The thermovoltage of a chaotic quantum dot is measured using a current heating technique. The fluctuations in the thermopower as a function of magnetic field and dot shape display…

Formation and manipulation of a metallic wire of single gold atoms

A. I. Yanson, G. Rubio Bollinger, H. E. van den Brom +2

The continuing miniaturization of microelectronics raises the prospect of nanometre-scale devices with mechanical and electrical properties that are qualitatively different from th…

Excitation spectrum of Andreev billiards with a mixed phase space

H. Schomerus, C. W. J. Beenakker

We present a semiclassical theory for the excitation spectrum of a ballistic quantum dot weakly coupled to a superconductor, for the generic situation that the classical motion giv…

Evidence for saturation of channel transmission from conductance fluctuations in atomic-size point contacts

B. Ludoph, M. H. Devoret, D. Esteve +2

The conductance of atomic size contacts has a small, random, voltage dependent component analogous to conductance fluctuations observed in diffusive wires (UCF). A new effect is ob…

Quantum suppression of shot noise in atom-size metallic contacts

H. E. van den Brom, J. M. van Ruitenbeek

The transmission of conductance modes in atom-size gold contacts is investigated by simultaneously measuring conductance and shot noise. The results give unambiguous evidence that…

Sub-Poissonian shot noise in non-degenerate diffusive conductors

C. W. J. Beenakker

A theory is presented for the universal reduction of shot noise by Coulomb repulsion, which was observed in computer simulations of a disordered non-degenerate electron gas by Gonz…

Distribution of the quantum mechanical time-delay matrix for a chaotic cavity

P. W. Brouwer, K. M. Frahm, C. W. J. Beenakker

We calculate the joint probability distribution of the Wigner-Smith time-delay matrix and the scattering matrix for scattering from a c…

Berry phase and adiabaticity of a spin diffusing in a non-uniform magnetic field

S. A. van Langen, H. P. A. Knops, J. C. J. Paasschens +1

An electron spin moving adiabatically in a strong, spatially non-uniform magnetic field accumulates a geometric phase or Berry phase, which might be observable as a conductance osc…
