We have studied quantum wires using the Green's function technique and the density-functional theory, calculating the electronic structure and the conductance. All the numerics are implemented using the finite-element method with a…
We consider interaction effects in quantum point contacts on the first quantization plateau, taking into account all non momentum-conserving processes. We compute low-temperature linear and non-linear conductance, shot noise, and…
The 0.7 conductance anomaly in the quantized conductance of trench etched GaAs quantum point contacts is studied experimentally. The temperature dependence of the anomaly measured with vanishing source-drain bias reveals the same activated…
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…
Self-consistent modelling based on local spin-density formalism is employed to calculate conductance of quantum point contacts at finite temperatures. The total electrostatic potential exhibits spin-dependent splitting, which persists at…
We present measurements of current noise in quantum point contacts as a function of source-drain bias, gate voltage, and in-plane magnetic field. At zero bias, Johnson noise provides a measure of the electron temperature. At finite bias,…
We investigate quantum corrections to the conductivity due to the interference of electron-electron (electron-phonon) scattering and elastic electron scattering in weakly disordered conductors. The electron-electron interaction results in a…
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…
Most quantum point contacts (QPCs) fabricated in high-mobility 2D electron gases show a zero-bias conductance peak near pinchoff, but the origin of this peak remains a mystery. Previous experiments have primarily focused on the zero-bias…
We report the inclusion of phonon scattering to our recently established numerical package QmeQ for transport in quantum dot systems. This enables straightforward calculations for a large variety of devices. As examples we show (i)…
We describe theoretically the acoustoconductance (AC) of quantum contacts. One characteristic of a contact which distinguishes it from a long, uniform wire is a strong, energy-dependent transmission probability. This has several…
Electron relaxation, induced by acoustic phonons, is studied for coupled quantum rings in the presence of external fields, both electric and magnetic. We address the problem of a single electron in vertically coupled GaAs quantum rings.…
The 0.7 (2e^2/h) conductance anomaly is studied in strongly confined, etched GaAs/GaAlAs quantum point contacts, by measuring the differential conductance as a function of source-drain and gate bias as well as a function of temperature. We…
We investigate finite temperature corrections to the Landauer formula due to electron-electron interaction within the quantum point contact. When the Fermi level is close to the barrier height, the interaction is strongly enhanced due to…
We report an experimental study on the shot noise as well as the dc transport properties of a quantum point contact (QPC) whose conductance anomaly can be tuned electrostatically by the gate electrodes. By controlling the single QPC so that…
We consider electron-electron interaction effects in quantum point contacts on the first quantization plateau, taking into account all scattering processes. We compute the low-temperature linear and nonlinear conductance, shot noise, and…
We investigate the influences of the electron-phonon interaction on the transport properties of one quantum-dot system with a side-coupled Majorana zero mode (MZM). Our calculation results show that at the zero-temperature limit, the…
We study how the conductance of a quantum point contact is affected by spin-orbit interactions, for systems at zero temperature both with and without electron-electron interactions. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling, tuning the…
Small differential conductance oscillations as a function of source-drain bias were observed and systematically studied in an asymmetric quantum point contact (QPC). These oscillations become significantly suppressed in a small in-plane…
We investigate the transmission of electrons through a quantum point contact by using a quasi-one-dimensional model with a local bound state below the band bottom. While the complete transmission in lower channels gives rise to plateaus of…
