Scaling at the chaos threshold in an interacting quantum dot
X. Leyronas, P. G. Silvestrov, C. W. J. Beenakker
The chaotic mixing by random two-body interactions of many-electron Fock states in a confined geometry is investigated numerically and compared with analytical predictions. Two dis…
Why does a metal-superconductor junction have a resistance?
C. W. J. Beenakker
This is a tutorial article based on a lecture delivered in June 1999 at the NATO Advanced Study Institute in Ankara. The phenomenon of Andreev reflection is introduced as the elect…
Multiple Andreev reflection in single atom niobium junctions
B. Ludoph, N. van der Post, E. N. Bratus' +4
Single atom junctions between superconducting niobium leads are produced using the Mechanically Controllable Break Junction technique. The current-voltage characteristics of these…
Conductance fluctuations as a tool for investigating the quantum modes in atomic size metallic contacts
B. Ludoph, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
Recently it has been observed that the conductance fluctuations of atomic size gold contacts are suppressed when the conductance is equal to an integer multiple of the conductance…
Shot-noise in non-degenerate semiconductors with energy-dependent elastic scattering
H. Schomerus, E. G. Mishchenko, C. W. J. Beenakker
We investigate current fluctuations in non-degenerate semiconductors, on length scales intermediate between the elastic and inelastic mean free paths. The shot-noise power P is sup…
Radiative transfer theory for vacuum fluctuations
E. G. Mishchenko, C. W. J. Beenakker
A semiclassical kinetic theory is presented for the fluctuating photon flux emitted by a disordered medium in thermal equilibrium. The kinetic equation is the optical analog of the…
Photon shot noise
C. W. J. Beenakker, M. Patra
A recent theory is reviewed for the shot noise of coherent radiation propagating through a random medium. The Fano factor P/I (the ratio of the noise power and the mean transmitted…
Observation of shell structure in sodium nanowires
A. I. Yanson, I. K. Yanson, J. M. van Ruitenbeek
The quantum states of a system of particles in a finite spatial domain in general consist of a set of discrete energy eigenvalues; these are usually grouped into bunches of degener…
Kinetic theory of shot noise in non-degenerate diffusive conductors
H. Schomerus, E. G. Mishchenko, C. W. J. Beenakker
We investigate current fluctuations in non-degenerate semiconductors, on length scales intermediate between the elastic and inelastic mean free paths. We present an exact solution…
