Mesoscopic rectifiers based on ballistic transport.
Recent experiments on symmetry-broken mesoscopic semiconductor structures have exhibited an amazing rectifying effect in the transverse current-voltage characteristics with promising prospects for future applications. We present a simple microscopic model, which takes into account the energy dependence of current-carrying modes and explains the rectifying effect by an interplay of fully quantiz...
متن کاملHeat transport in mesoscopic systems
Phonon heat transport in mesoscopic systems is investigated using methods analogous to the Landauer description of electrical conductance. A “universal heat conductance” expression that depends on the properties of the conducting pathway only through the mode cutoff frequencies is derived. Corrections due to reflections at the junction between the thermal body and the conducting bridge are foun...
متن کاملTime-dependent Transport in Interacting Mesoscopic Systems
The study of mesoscopic phenomena is one of the most active areas of today’s solid state physics. One can observe signatures of mesoscopics in a large number of different physical systems, and a comprehensive review would not be appropriate in the present context. The present volume focuses on Kadanoff– Baym–Keldysh Green functions, and consequently we restrict ourselves to certain examples whi...

متن کاملThe mesoscopic conductance of ballistic rings
The calculation of the conductance of ballistic rings requires a theory that goes well beyond the Kubo-Drude formula. Assuming “mesoscopic” circumstance of very weak environmental relaxation, the conductance is much smaller compared with the naive expectation. Namely, the electro-motiveforce induces an energy absorption with a rate that depends crucially on the possibility to make connected seq...
