Reflection Symmetric Ballistic Microstructures: Quantum Transport Properties
Harold U. Baranger, Pier A. Mello
We show that reflection symmetry has a strong influence on quantum transport properties. Using a random S-matrix theory approach, we derive the weak-localization correction, the ma…
Mesoscopic Capacitors: A Statistical Analysis
Victor A. Gopar, Pier A. Mello, Markus Buttiker
The capacitance of mesoscopic samples depends on their geometry and physical properties, described in terms of characteristic times scales. The resulting ac admittance shows sample…
Quantum interference and the spin orbit interaction in mesoscopic normal-superconducting junctions
Keith Slevin, Jean-Louis Pichard, P. A. Mello
We calculate the quantum correction to the classical conductance of a disordered mesoscopic normal-superconducting (NS) junction in which the electron spatial and spin degrees of f…
SCATTERING INVOLVING PROMPT AND EQUILIBRATED COMPONENTS, INFORMATION THEORY, AND CHAOTIC QUANTUM DOTS
H. U. Baranger, P. A. Mello
We propose an information-theoretic statistical model to describe the universal features of those chaotic scattering processes characterized by a prompt and an equilibrated compone…
How Phase-Breaking Affects Quantum Transport Through Chaotic Cavities
Harold U. Baranger, Pier A. Mello
We investigate the effects of phase-breaking events on electronic transport through ballistic chaotic cavities. We simulate phase-breaking by a fictitious lead connecting the cavit…
