Fano resonances in nanoscale structures

AE Miroshnichenko, S Flach, YS Kivshar - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
Modern nanotechnology allows one to scale down various important devices (sensors,
chips, fibers, etc.) and thus opens up new horizons for their applications. The efficiency of …

Random-matrix theory of quantum transport

CWJ Beenakker - Reviews of modern physics, 1997 - APS
This is a review of the statistical properties of the scattering matrix of a mesoscopic system.
Two geometries are contrasted: A quantum dot and a disordered wire. The quantum dot is a …

Landauer formula for the current through an interacting electron region

Y Meir, NS Wingreen - Physical review letters, 1992 - APS
A Landauer formula for the current through a region of interacting electrons is derived using
the nonequilibrium Keldysh formalism. The case of proportionate coupling to the left and …

Shot noise in mesoscopic conductors

YM Blanter, M Büttiker - Physics reports, 2000 - Elsevier
Theoretical and experimental work concerned with dynamic fluctuations has developed into
a very active and fascinating subfield of mesoscopic physics. We present a review of this …

Kondo effect in a single-electron transistor

D Goldhaber-Gordon, H Shtrikman, D Mahalu… - Nature, 1998 - nature.com
How localized electrons interact with delocalized electrons is a central question to many
problems in sold-state physics,,. The simplest manifestation of this situation is the Kondo …

Numerical renormalization group method for quantum impurity systems

R Bulla, TA Costi, T Pruschke - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
In the early 1970s, Wilson developed the concept of a fully nonperturbative renormalization
group transformation. When applied to the Kondo problem, this numerical renormalization …

Quantum transport in semiconductor nanostructures

CWJ Beenakker, H van Houten - Solid state physics, 1991 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary Quantum transport is conveniently studied in a two-dimensional
electron gas (2DEG) because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large …

A tunable Kondo effect in quantum dots

SM Cronenwett, TH Oosterkamp, LP Kouwenhoven - Science, 1998 - science.org
A tunable Kondo effect has been realized in small quantum dots. A dot can be switched from
a Kondo system to a non-Kondo system as the number of electrons on the dot is changed …

Transmission through barriers and resonant tunneling in an interacting one-dimensional electron gas

CL Kane, MPA Fisher - Physical Review B, 1992 - APS
We study theoretically transport of a one-dimensional single-channel interacting electron
gas through barriers or constrictions. We find that electrons with repulsive interactions …

Kondo resonance in a single-molecule transistor

W Liang, MP Shores, M Bockrath, JR Long, H Park - Nature, 2002 - nature.com
When an individual molecule, nanocrystal,,, nanotube, or lithographically defined quantum
dot is attached to metallic electrodes via tunnel barriers, electron transport is dominated by …
