The standard physical model of contemporary mesoscopic noise and transport consists in a phenomenologically based approach, proposed originally by Landauer and since continued and amplified by Buettiker (and others). Throughout all the…
Charge transport through molecular junctions is often described either as a purely coherent or a purely classical phenomenon, and described using the Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism or Marcus theory, respectively. Using a generalised quantum…
A general Landauer-B\"uttiker-type current formula is derived, which can be applied to the ferromagnet (F)/Normal metal (N)/superconductor (S), F/N/N, N/N/S and N/N/N systems in the presence of various kinds of interactions in the central…
The Landauer formula allows us to describe theoretically the conductance in terms of the transmission function in a mesoscopic system. We propose a general method to evaluate the transmission function in the complex domain for systems…

The Landauer conductance of a two terminal device equals to the number of open modes in the weak scattering limit. What is the corresponding result if we close the system into a ring? Is it still bounded by the number of open modes? Or is…

We show that by integrating out the electric field and incorporating proper boundary conditions, a semiclassical Boltzmann equation can describe electron transport properties, continuously from the diffusive to ballistic regimes. General…
The Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism establishes an equivalence between the electrical conduction through a device, e.g., a quantum dot, and the transmission. Guided by this analogy we perform transmission measurements through three-port…
