We analyze electron transport through a quantum shuttle for the applied voltage below the instability threshold. We obtain current-voltage characteristics of this system and show that at low temperature they exhibit pronounced steps. The…

We show theoretically that the Coulomb drag rate between two parallel quasi-two-dimensional electron gases is substantially enhanced by the coupled acoustic and optic plasmon modes of the system at temperatures $T \gtrsim 0.2T_F$ (where…

The transport properties of a tunnel barrier in a one-dimensional wire are investigated at finite voltages and temperatures. We generalize the Luttinger model to account for finite ranges of the interaction. This leads to deviations from…

Manifestations of fluctuating Cooper pairs formed by electrons and holes populating opposite surfaces of a topological insulator film in the Coulomb drag effect are considered. Fluctuational Aslamazov-Larkin contribution to the…

We analyze theoretically charge transport in Coulomb coupled graphene waveguides (GWGs). The GWGs are defined using antidot lattices, and the lateral geometry bypasses many technological challenges of earlier designs. The drag resistivity…

Conduction of electrons in matter is ultimately described by quantum mechanics. Yet at low frequency or long time scales, low temperature quantum transport is perfectly described by this very simple idea: electrons are emitted by the…

Luttinger liquids occupy a special place in physics as the most understood case of essentially quantum many-body systems. The experimental mission of measuring its main prediction, power laws in observable quantities, has already produced a…

We study the energy-transfer rate for electrons in a double-quantum-well structure, where the layers are coupled through screened Coulomb interactions. The energy-transfer rate between the layers (similar to the Coulomb drag effect in which…

The Coulomb drag phenomenon in a Coulomb-coupled double quantum dot system is revisited with a simple model that highlights the importance of simultaneous tunneling of electrons. Previously, cotunneling effects on the drag current in…

We examine the effects of electron-electron interactions on transport between edge states in a multilayer integer quantum Hall system. The edge states of such a system, coupled by interlayer tunneling, form a two-dimensional, chiral metal…

We present a theory of Coulomb blockade oscillations in tunneling through a pair of quantum dots connected by a tunable tunneling junction. The positions and amplitudes of peaks in the linear conductance are directly related, respectively,…

The conductance through a quantum wire of cylindrical cross section and a weak bulge is solved exactly for two electrons within the Landauer-Buettiker formalism. We show that this 'open' quantum dot exhibits spin-dependent Coulomb blockade…

As voltage decreases d.c. condctivity of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid wire collapses to a small value determined by the length of the wire and its contacts with the leads. In condition that voltage drop (V) mostly occurs across a tunnel…

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 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…

We consider mesoscopic fluctuations of the Coulomb drag coefficient $\rho_D$ in the system of two separated two-dimensional electron gases. It is shown that at low temperatures sample to sample fluctuations of $\rho_D$ exceed its ensemble…

We report transport measurements on a semiconductor quantum dot with a small number of confined electrons. In the Coulomb blockade regime, conduction is dominated by cotunneling processes. These can be either elastic or inelastic, depending…

We study heat transfer mediated by near-field fluctuations of the electromagnetic field. In case of metals the latter are dominated by Coulomb interactions between thermal fluctuations of electronic density. We show that an elastic…

Dynamic conductance and time-of-flight current instability in a quantum wire connected to electron reservoirs under DC bias voltage are studied in the absence of a gate screening the Coulomb interaction of electrons. Due to a strong…

We propose a theory of low temperature thermal transport in nano-wires in the regime where a competition between phonon and flexural modes governs the relaxation processes. Starting with the standard kinetic equations for two different…
