Conductance Peak Distributions in Quantum Dots and the Crossover between Orthogonal and Unitary Symmetries

Abstract

Closed expressions are derived for the resonance widths and Coulomb blockade conductance peak heights in quantum dots for the crossover regime between conserved and broken time-reversal symmetry. The results hold for leads with any number of possibly correlated and inequivalent channels. Our analytic predictions are in good agreement with simulations of both random matrices and a chaotic billiard with a magnetic flux line.
