A systematic theory of the conductance measurements of noninvasive (weak probe)
scanning gate microscopy is presented that provides an interpretation of what precisely is …

We consider quantum point contact (QPC) defined within a disordered two-dimensional
electron gas as studied by scanning gate microscopy. We evaluate the conductance maps in …

I present the results of extensive numerical simulations, which reveal the glassy properties of
Anderson localization in dimension two at zero temperature: pinning, avalanches, and …

In classically chaotic systems, small differences in initial conditions are exponentially
magnified over time. However, it was observed experimentally that the (necessarily …

Scanning gate microscopy images from measurements made in the vicinity of quantum point
contacts were originally interpreted in terms of current flow. Some recent work has …

Electron flow through a quantum point contact in the presence of spin-orbit coupling is
investigated theoretically in the context of the scanning gate microscopy (SGM) conductance …

The electrical characteristics of a carbon nanotube can be significantly modified by applying
elastic strain. This study focuses on exploring this phenomenon in a single-walled carbon …

We study the conductance g of an electron interferometer created in a two-dimensional
electron gas between a nanostructured contact and the depletion region induced by the …

Using the tools of random matrix theory we develop a statistical analysis of the transport
properties of thermoelectric low-dimensional systems made of two electron reservoirs set at …

In the previous chapters, we were interested in the transmission of a quantum point contact
(QPC) and the figures of interference pattern of the conductance change of such QPCs. We …
