Coherent electron transport through a quantum channel in the presence of a general extended scattering potential is investigated using a T-matrix Lippmann-Schwinger approach. The formalism is applied to a quantum wire with Gaussian type…

This paper develops a scattering theory to examine how point impurities affect transport through quantum wires. While some of our new results apply specifically to hard-walled wires, others--for example, an effective optical theorem for…

A method is proposed for studying wave and particle transport in disordered waveguide systems of dimension higher than unity by means of exact one-dimensionalization of the dynamic equations in the mode representation. As a particular case,…

A quantum wire is spatially displaced by suitable electric fields with respect to the scatterers inside a semiconductor crystal. As a function of the wire position, the low-temperature resistance shows reproducible fluctuations. Their…

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.…

We calculate the conductance of a quantum wire with two occupied subbands in a presence of a barrier taking into account the interaction between electrons. We extend the renormalization-group equation for the scattering matrix of the…

We examine the effects of disorder in one-dimensional systems. We link the case of a few impurities, typical of a short quantum wire, to that of a finite density of scatterers more appropriate for a long wire or a macroscopic system.…

In this paper we present and discuss our results for the conductance and conductance fluctuations of narrow quantum wires with two types of disorder: boundary roughness (hard wall confining potential) and islands of strongly scattering…

Recent experiments have revealed that the temperature dependence of the conductance of quasi-ballistic quantum wires bears clear features of the Luttinger-liquid state. In this paper, the conductance of an N-channel quantum wire is…

One-dimensional electron systems interacting with long-range Coulomb forces (quantum wires) show a Wigner crystal structure. We investigate in this paper the transport properties of such a Wigner crystal in the presence of impurities.…

We show that the scaling exponent for tunneling into a quantum wire in the "Coulomb Tonks gas" regime of impenetrable, but otherwise free, electrons is affected by impurity scattering in the wire. The exponent for tunneling into such a wire…

It is well known that while forward scattering has no effect on the conductance of one-dimensional systems, backscattering off a static impurity suppresses the current. We study the effect of a time-dependent point impurity on the…

We study the conductance of a quantum wire in the presence of weak electron-electron scattering. In a sufficiently long wire the scattering leads to full equilibration of the electron distribution function in the frame moving with the…

We report a theoretical study on the inelastic Coulomb scattering rate of an injected electron in two coupled quantum wires in quasi-one-dimensional doped semiconductors. Two peaks appear in the scattering spectrum due to the optical and…

We study the conductance threshold of clean nearly straight quantum wires in the magnetic field. As a quantitative example we solve exactly the scattering problem for two-electrons in a wire with planar geometry and a weak bulge. From the…

We analyze the effect of an auxiliary scatterer, such as the potential of a scanning tip, on the conductance of an interacting one-dimensional electron system. We find that the differential conductance for tunneling into the end of a…

Transport properties of narrow two-dimensional conducting wires in which the electron scattering is caused by side edges' roughness have been studied. The method for calculating dynamic characteristics of such conductors is proposed which…

We calculate the exact transmission coefficient of a quantum wire in the presence of a single point defect at the wire's cut-off frequencies. We show that while the conductance pattern (i.e., the scattering) is strongly affected by the…

We study the conductance threshold of clean nearly straight quantum wires in which an electron is bound. We show that such a system exhibits spin-dependent conductance structures on the rising edge to the first conductance plateau, one near…

We consider scattering and transport in interacting quantum wires that are connected to leads. Such a setup can be represented by a minimal model of interacting fermions with inhomogeneities in the form of sudden changes in interaction…
