Interactions between electrons in one-dimension are fully described at low energies by only a few parameters of the Tomonaga-Luttinger model which is based on linearisation of the spectrum. We consider a model of spinless fermions with a…
We study in this paper the properties of a gas of fermions interacting {\em via} a scalar potential $v(q)=4\pi{e}^2/q^2$ for $q<\Lambda<<k_F$ at dimensions larger than one, where $\Lambda$ is a high momentum cutoff and $k_F$ is the fermi…
The conductance of a weakly interacting electron gas in the presense of a single scatterer is found at arbitrary strength of the scattering potential. At weak interaction, a simple renormalization group approach can be used instead of the…
We consider a transmission of electrons through a two-dimensional ballistic point contact in the low-conductance regime below the 0.7-anomaly. The scattering of electrons by Friedel oscillations of charge density results in a contribution…
In transport experiments the quantum nature of matter becomes directly evident when changes in conductance occur only in discrete steps, with a size determined solely by Planck's constant h. The observations of quantized steps in the…
