Landauer formula without Landauer's assumptions
arXiv:cond-mat/0312449 · doi:10.1088/0953-8984/15/45/L01
Abstract
The Landauer formula for dissipationless conductance lies at the heart of modern electronic transport, yet it remains without a clear microscopic basis. We analyze the Landauer formula microscopically, and give a straightforward quantum kinetic derivation for open systems. Some important experimental implications follow. These lie beyond the Landauer result as popularly received.
