Random-matrix theories in quantum physics: common concepts

T Guhr, A Müller–Groeling, HA Weidenmüller - Physics Reports, 1998 - Elsevier
We review the development of random-matrix theory (RMT) during the last fifteen years. We
emphasize both the theoretical aspects, and the application of the theory to a number of …

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 …

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 …

Quantum point contacts in magnetic fields

T Ando - Physical Review B, 1991 - APS
A method is described for the numerical calculations of the ballistic conductance in
mesoscopic structures in magnetic fields within a lattice model. Examples of calculated …

Electrical linear-response theory in an arbitrary magnetic field: A new Fermi-surface formation

HU Baranger, AD Stone - Physical Review B, 1989 - APS
We develop a novel formulation of dc electrical linear-response theory for a phase-coherent
conductor with multiple leads valid in arbitrarily strong magnetic field and for a given impurity …

Conductance fluctuations in the ballistic regime: A probe of quantum chaos?

RA Jalabert, HU Baranger, AD Stone - Physical review letters, 1990 - APS
We demonstrate the existence of resistance fluctuations in experimentally realizable ballistic
conductors due to scattering from geometric features. The magnetic-field and energy …

Inelastic scattering in resonant tunneling

NS Wingreen, KW Jacobsen, JW Wilkins - Physical Review B, 1989 - APS
The exact resonant-tunneling transmission probability for an electron interacting with
phonons is presented in the limit that the elastic coupling to the leads is independent of …

Billiard model of a ballistic multiprobe conductor

CWJ Beenakker, H Van Houten - Physical review letters, 1989 - APS
A model for ballistic transport based on classical mechanics of electrons at the Fermi level is
shown to exhibit a variety of magnetoresistance anomalies found experimentally in narrow …

Classical and quantum ballistic-transport anomalies in microjunctions

HU Baranger, DP DiVincenzo, RA Jalabert, AD Stone - Physical Review B, 1991 - APS
We have performed quantum-mechanical and classical calculations of the magnetotransport
behavior of two-dimensional four-terminal junctions in the ballistic regime. Experimentally …
