We use the scattering matrix approach to derive generalized Bardeen-like formulae for the conductances between the contacts of a phase-coherent multiprobe conductor and a tunneling tip which probes its surface. These conductances are…
Suppose there is a mesoscopic system connected to single channel leads. If the system is non-chaotic or non-ergodic then the thermodynamic and transport properties do not depend on impurity averaged density of states. We show that the…
A dephasing model in the spirit of Buttiker's fictitious probe model where infinite probes are distributed uniformly over the conductor is proposed. The dephasing rate enters into the model as an adjustable parameter and to compute the…

We study the noise properties and efficiency of a mesoscopic resonant-level conductor which is used as a quantum detector, in the regime where transport through the level is only partially phase coherent. We contrast models in which…
Using the semi-classical Boltzmann theory, we calculate the conductivity as function of the carrier density. As usually, we include the scattering from charged impurities, but conclude that the estimated impurity density is too low in order…
