Oscillatory non-linear conductance of an interacting quantum wire with an impurity

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The nonlinear conductance of a one-dimensional quantum wire adiabatically coupled to Fermi Liquid electron reservoirs is determined in presence of an impurity. We show that electron-electron interaction in connection with the finite length of the wire leads to characteristic oscillations in the current as a function of the applied voltage.
