Coherent transport in disordered metals: zero dimensional limit

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We consider non-equilibrium transport in disordered conductors. We calculate the interaction correction to the current for a short wire connected to electron reservoirs by resistive interfaces. In the absence of charging effects we find a universal current-voltage-characteristics. The relevance of our calculation for existing experiments is discussed as well as the connection with alternative theoretical approaches.
