Rectification of displacement currents in an adiabatic electron pump
P. W. Brouwer
Rectification of ac displacement currents generated by periodic variation of two independent gate voltages of a quantum dot can lead to a dc voltage linear in the frequency. The pr…
Current induced switching of magnetic domains to a perpendicular configuration
Xavier Waintal, Piet W. Brouwer
In a ferromagnet--normal-metal--ferromagnet trilayer, a current flowing perpendicularly to the layers creates a torque on the magnetic moments of the ferromagnets. When one of the…
Fano resonances as a probe of phase coherence in quantum dots
A. A. Clerk, X. Waintal, P. W. Brouwer
In the presence of direct trajectories connecting source and drain contacts, the conductance of a quantum dot may exhibit resonances of the Fano type. Since Fano resonances result…
Transport Properties and Density of States of Quantum Wires with Off-diagonal Disorder
P. W. Brouwer, C. Mudry, A. Furusaki
We review recent work on the random hopping problem in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry of N coupled chains (quantum wire with off-diagonal disorder). Both density of states and co…
Universal gap fluctuations in the superconductor proximity effect
M. G. Vavilov, P. W. Brouwer, V. Ambegaokar +1
Random-matrix theory is used to study the mesoscopic fluctuations of the excitation gap in a metal grain or quantum dot induced by the proximity to a superconductor. We propose tha…
The Role of Spin-Dependent Interface Scattering in Generating Current-Induced Torques in Magnetic Multilayers
Xavier Waintal, Edward B. Myers, Piet W. Brouwer +1
We present a calculation of current-induced torques in metallic magnetic multilayers derived from the spin-dependent transmission and reflection properties of the magnetic layers.…
Andreev Conductance of Chaotic and Integrable Quantum Dots
A. A. Clerk, P. W. Brouwer, V. Ambegaokar
We examine the voltage V and magnetic field B dependent Andreev conductance of a chaotic quantum dot coupled via point contacts to a normal metal and a superconductor. In the case…
Fluctuating spin g-tensor in small metal grains
P. W. Brouwer, X. Waintal, B. I. Halperin
In the presence of spin-orbit scattering, the splitting of an energy level in a generic small metal grain due to the Zeeman coupling to a magnetic field B depends on the direction…
Localization and delocalization in dirty superconducting wires
P. W. Brouwer, A. Furusaki, I. A. Gruzberg +1
We present Fokker-Planck equations that describe transport of heat and spin in dirty unconventional superconducting quantum wires. Four symmetry classes are distinguished, dependin…
Photonic excess noise and wave localization
C. W. J. Beenakker, M. Patra, P. W. Brouwer
This is a theory for the effect of localization on the super-Poissonian noise of radiation propagating through an absorbing disordered waveguide. Localization suppresses both the m…
