We consider a model of a leaky quantum wire with the Hamiltonian $-\Delta -\alpha \delta(x-\Gamma)$ in $L^2(\R^2)$, where $\Gamma$ is a compact deformation of a straight line. The existence of wave operators is proven and the S-matrix is…
When materials are in the diffusive regime, i.e. when the scattering length is less than the sample size, charge transport is mediated by diffusons and cooperons. We argue that these charge carriers are not always spread out throughout the…
