Electron Dephasing in Mesoscopic Metal Wires
The low-temperature behavior of the electron phase coherence time, τφ, in mesoscopic metal wires has been a subject of controversy recently. Whereas theory predicts that τφ(T ) in narrow wires should increase as T as the temperature T is lowered, many samples exhibit a saturation of τφ below about 1 K. We review here the experiments we have performed recently to address this issue. In particula...
متن کاملNonequilibrium dephasing in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
We study nonequilibrium dephasing in an electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We demonstrate that the shot noise at the beam splitter of the interferometer generates an ensemble of nonequilibrium electron density configurations and that electron interactions induce configuration-specific phase shifts of an interfering electron. The resulting dephasing exhibits two characteristic features, a l...
متن کاملResonant dephasing in the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
We address the recently observed unexpected behavior of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer that was realized experimentally in a quantum Hall system [I. Neder, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 016804 (2006)10.1103/PhysRevLett.96.016804]. We argue that the measured lobe structure in the visibility of oscillations and the phase rigidity result from a strong long-range in...
متن کاملGeneralized 'probe' Model for Arbitrary Dephasing Mechanisms
It has been shown earlier that in the linear response regime, dephasing by point scatterers (within the self-consistent Born approximation) can be visualized in terms of point voltage probes attached to each space and energy coordinate (r,E). In this paper we derive a generalized linear response equation starting from the non-equilibrium Green function formalism that can be used to describe any...
متن کاملEffect of dephasing on the current statistics of mesoscopic devices.
We investigate the effects of dephasing on the current statistics of mesoscopic conductors with a recently developed statistical model, focusing, in particular, on mesoscopic cavities and Aharonov-Bohm rings. For such devices, we analyze the influence of an arbitrary degree of decoherence on the cumulants of the current. We recover known results for the limiting cases of fully coherent and tota...
