Electron Transport through Nanosystems Driven by Coulomb Scattering

Abstract

Electron transmission through nanosystems is blocked if there are no states connecting the left and the right reservoir. Electron-electron scattering can lift this blockade and we show that this feature can be conveniently implemented by considering a transport model based on many-particle states. We discuss typical signatures of this phenomena, such as the presence of a current signal for a finite bias window.
