Mesoscopic effects in tunneling between parallel quantum wires
arXiv:cond-mat/0103372 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.64.085315
Abstract
We consider a phase-coherent system of two parallel quantum wires that are coupled via a tunneling barrier of finite length. The usual perturbative treatment of tunneling fails in this case, even in the diffusive limit, once the length L of the coupling region exceeds a characteristic length scale L_t set by tunneling. Exact solution of the scattering problem posed by the extended tunneling barrier allows us to compute tunneling conductances as a function of applied voltage and magnetic field. We take into account charging effects in the quantum wires due to applied voltages and find that these are important for 1D-to-1D tunneling transport.
