Single-electron current sources: Toward a refined definition of the ampere

JP Pekola, OP Saira, VF Maisi, A Kemppinen… - Reviews of Modern …, 2013 - APS
The control of electrons at the level of the elementary charge e was demonstrated
experimentally already in the 1980s. Ever since, the production of an electrical current ef, or …

Quantum coherent effects, phase transitions, and the dissipative dynamics of ultra small tunnel junctions

G Schön, AD Zaikin - Physics Reports, 1990 - Elsevier
The quantum dynamics of tunnel junctions with very small capacitance, such that k BT< e
2/2C, is investigated. We derive the quantum mechanical description from the microscopic …

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 …

Transport in a one-channel Luttinger liquid

CL Kane, MPA Fisher - Physical review letters, 1992 - APS
We study theoretically the transport of a one-channel Luttinger liquid through a weak link.
For repulsive electron interactions, the electrons are completely reflected by even the …

Coherent and collective quantum optical effects in mesoscopic systems

T Brandes - physics reports, 2005 - Elsevier
A review of coherent and collective quantum optical effects like superradiance and coherent
population trapping in mesoscopic systems is presented. Various new physical realizations …

Charge tunneling rates in ultrasmall junctions

GL Ingold, YV Nazarov - Single charge tunneling: Coulomb blockade …, 1992 - Springer
With the advances of microfabrication techniques in recent years it has become possible to
fabricate tunnel junctions of increasingly smaller dimensions and thereby decreasing …

Single-barrier problem and Anderson localization in a one-dimensional interacting electron system

A Furusaki, N Nagaosa - Physical Review B, 1993 - APS
Transport through a single barrier in a one-dimensional (1D) interacting electron system is
studied theoretically. By using renormalization group and duality mapping, the phase …

Electron liquids and solids in one dimension

VV Deshpande, M Bockrath, LI Glazman, A Yacoby - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Even though bulk metallic systems contain a very large number of strongly interacting
electrons, their properties are well described within Landau's Fermi liquid theory of non …

Interference and Interaction in multi-wall carbon nanotubes

C Schoenenberger, A Bachtold, C Strunk, JP Salvetat… - Applied Physics A, 1999 - Springer
We report equilibrium electric resistance R and tunneling spectroscopy (dI/dV)
measurements obtained on single multi-wall nanotubes contacted by four metallic Au fingers …

Double quantum dots as detectors of high-frequency quantum noise in mesoscopic conductors

R Aguado, LP Kouwenhoven - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
We propose a measurement setup for detecting quantum noise over a wide frequency range
using inelastic transitions in a tunable two-level system as a detector. The frequency …
