Abstract
The quantum transport of electrons in a wire of localized dots by hopping, interaction and dissipation is calculated and a representation by an equivalent RCL circuit is found. The exact solution for the electric-field induced currents allows to discuss the role of virtual currents to decay initial correlations and Bloch oscillations. The dynamical response function in random phase approximation (RPA) is calculated analytically with the help of which the static structure function and pair correlation function are determined. The pair correlation function contains a form factor from the Brillouin zone and a structure factor caused by the localized dots in the wire.
