We have analyzed the atomic arrangements and quantum conductance of silver nanowires generated by mechanical elongation. The surface properties of Ag induce unexpected structural properties, as for example, predominance of high aspect ratio…

We devise an approach to measure the polarization of nuclear spins via conductance measurements. Specifically, we study the combined effect of external magnetic field, nuclear spin polarization, and Rashba spin-orbit interaction on the…

We study electron transport properties of some molecular wires and a unconventional disordered thin film within the tight-binding framework using Green's function technique. We show that electron transport is significantly affected by…

We study charge and spin transport through an interacting quantum wire, caused by backscattering off an effective impurity potential with a periodic time-dependence. The adiabatic regime of this pump for charge and spin is shown to depend…

A weakly bound electron in a semiconductor quantum wire is shown to become entangled with an itinerant electron via the coulomb interaction. The degree of entanglement and its variation with energy of the injected electron, may be tuned by…

We investigate a possibility of pair electron-electron e-e collisions in a ballistic wire with spin-orbit coupling and only one populated mode. Unlike in a spin-degenerate system, a combination of spin-splitting in momentum space with a…

We consider resonant transmission through a finite-length quantum wire connected to leads via finite transparency junctions. The coherent electron transport is strongly modified by the Coulomb interaction. The low-temperature…

We study the Coulomb blockade in a chaotic cavity connected to a lead by a perfectly transmitting quantum channel. In contrast to the previous theories, we show that the quantum fluctuations of charge, resulting from the perfect…

Short length quantum wires (quantum contacts) exhibit a conductance structure at the value of conductance close to 0.7 \times 2e^2/h. The structure is also called the conductance anomaly. In longer contacts the structure evolves to the…

A numerically exact calculation of the T=0 transport properties of a quantum wire interacting with a lateral two-level quantum dot is presented. The wire conductance is calculated for all different states of charge and spin of the quantum…

Very short quantum wires (quantum contacts) exhibit a conductance structure at the value of conductance close to 0.7 x 2e^2/h. The structure was discovered by Thomas et al (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 77}, 135 (1996)). Dependence of the structure…

We present a theoretical analysis of recent experimental results of Yacoby et al. on transport properties of high quality quantum wires. We suggest an explanation of observed deviations of the conductance from the universal value $2e^2/h$…

The bulk conductivity of a two-dimensional system is studied assuming that quantum interference effects break time-reversal symmetry in the presence of strong spin-orbit interaction and strong lattice potential. The study is carried out by…

We investigate the conductance of a quantum wire with two embedded quantum dots using a T-matrix approach based on the Lippmann-Schwinger formalism. The quantum dots are represented by a quantum well with Gaussian shape and the wire is…

Electron transport in a quantum wire with leads is investigated with actual Coulomb interaction taken into account. The latter includes both the direct interaction of electrons with each other and their interaction via the image charges…

We explore spin dependent transport through a magnetic quantum wire which is attached to two non-magnetic metallic electrodes. We adopt a simple tight-binding Hamiltonian to describe the model where the quantum wire is attached to two…

The influence of the charging effects on the transport characteristics of a molecular wire bridging two metallic electrodes in the limit of weak contacts is studied by generalized Breit-Wigner formula. Molecule is modeled as a quantum dot…

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…

Scanning gate microscopy measurements in a circular ballistic cavity with a tip placed near its center yield a non-monotonic dependence of the conductance on the tip voltage. Detailed numerical quantum calculations reproduce these…
