Symmetry of two terminal, non-linear electric conduction

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2015-06-24 v2

Abstract

The well-established symmetry relations for linear transport phenomena can not, in general, be applied in the non-linear regime. Here we propose a set of symmetry relations with respect to bias voltage and magnetic field for the non-linear conductance of two-terminal electric conductors. We experimentally confirm these relations using phase-coherent, semiconductor quantum dots.
