We investigate measurement of electron transport in quantum dot systems by using single-electron transistor as a noninvasive detector. It is demonstrated that such a detector can operate in the ``negative-result measurement'' regime. In…
We study the motion of an elastic object driven in a disordered environment in presence of both dissipation and inertia. We consider random forces with the statistics of random walks and reduce the problem to a single degree of freedom. It…

Brownian motors, or ratchets, are devices which "rectify" Brownian motion, i.e. they can generate a current of particles out of unbiased fluctuations. The ratchet effect is a very general phenomenon which applies to a wide range of physical…
We calculate the electrical conductivity of a thin crystalline strip of atoms confined within a quasi one dimensional channel of fixed width. The conductivity shows anomalous behavior as the strip is deformed under tensile loading. Beyond a…
The primary requirement for achieving spin-selective electron transfer in a nanojunction possessing a magnetic system with zero net magnetization is to break the symmetry between the up and down spin sub-Hamiltonians. Circumventing the…

A quantum many-body system with a conserved electric charge can have a DC resistivity that is either exactly zero (implying it supports dissipationless current) or nonzero. Exactly zero resistivity is related to conservation laws that…
