Electronic transport through a material depends on the response to local perturbations induced by defects or impurities in the material. The scattering processes can be described in terms of phase shifts and corresponding cross sections.…
Electronic transport properties of the disordered quantum wires are considered. The disorder is introduced via impurities (point scatterers), distributed uniformly over the two-dimensional strip, which represents a model quantum wire.…
