Mesoscopic fluctuations of the Coulomb drag

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider mesoscopic fluctuations of the Coulomb drag coefficient ρD\rho_D in the system of two separated two-dimensional electron gases. It is shown that at low temperatures sample to sample fluctuations of ρD\rho_D exceed its ensemble average. It means that in such a regime the sign of ρD\rho_D is random and the temperature dependence almost saturates ρD1/T\rho_D \sim 1/\sqrt{T}.
