General relation between state density and dwell times in mesoscopic systems

arXiv:quant-ph/9511004 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.51.4727

Abstract

A relevant relation between the dwell time and the density of states for a three dimensional system of arbitrary shape with an arbitrary number of incoming channel is derived. This result extends the one obtained by Gasparian et al. for the special case of a layered one dimensional symmetrical system. We believe that such a strong relation between the most widely accepted time related to the dynamics of a particle and the density of states in the barrier region, one of the most relevant properties of a system in equilibrium, is rich of physical significance.
