The persistent current in three-dimensional mesoscopic rings is investigated numerically. The model is tight-binding one with random site-energies and interaction between electrons. The self-consistent Hartree-Fock approximation is adopted…
We propose a highly-scalable method to compute the statistics of charge transfer in driven conductors. The framework can be applied in situations of non-zero temperature, strong coupling to terminals and in the presence of non-periodic…
Magneto-transport properties in closed and open loop structures are carefully reviewed within a tight-binding formalism. A novel mesoscopic phenomenon where a non-vanishing current is observed in a conducting loop upon the application of an…
We develop a linear theory of electron transport for a system of two identical quantum wires in a wide range of the wire length L, unifying both the ballistic and diffusive transport regimes. The microscopic model, involving the interaction…
We calculate the average persistent current in a mesoscopic metal ring threaded by a magnetic flux in the diffusive regime. It is shown that the classical electromagnetic energy leads to a {\it{universal}} average current of the order of $…
The weak field average magnetic susceptibility of square shaped mesoscopic conductors is studied within a semiclassical framework. Long semiclassical trajectories are strongly affected by static disorder and differ sharply from those of…
Superconductors used in magnet technology could carry extreme currents because of their ability to keep the magnetic flux motionless. The dynamics of the magnetic flux interaction with superconductors is controlled by this property. The…
The theory of dynamical Coulomb blockade is extended to tunneling elements driven by a time-dependent voltage. It is shown that for standard set-ups where an external voltage is applied to a tunnel junction via an impedance, time-dependent…
Time-dependent driving with ultrashort voltage pulses brings quantum conductors into the non-adiabatic transport regime, where novel dynamical effects emerge. An example of this physics occurs in interferometric systems, where the…
This is a comprehensive review of the random-matrix approach to the theory of phase-coherent conduction in mesocopic systems. The theory is applied to a variety of physical phenomena in quantum dots and disordered wires, including universal…
We consider the conductance of a one-dimensional wire interrupted by a double-barrier structure allowing for a resonant level. Using the electron-electron interaction strength as a small parameter, we are able to build a non-perturbative…
I present a theory of electron dynamics in semiconductors with slowly varying composition. I show that the frequency-dependent conductivity, required for the description of transport and optical properties, can be obtained from a knowledge…
Effect of an oscillatory decay of the charge density in concentrated ionic solutions and ionic liquids on the double-layer capacitance is studied in a framework of a mesoscopic theory. Only Coulomb and steric forces between the ions that…
We develop a detailed theoretical investigation of the effect of Coulomb interaction on electron transport in arrays of chaotic quantum dots and diffusive metallic wires. Employing the real time path integral technique we formulate a new…
We summarize the main results of a microscopically based kinetic theory, applicable to open quantum point contacts (QPCs) driven up to high fields. The governing role of gauge invariance -- and the many-body sum rules for the electron gas…
We discuss a new approach to describe mesoscopic systems, based on the ideas of quantum electrical circuits with charge discreteness. This approach has allowed us to propose a simple alternative descriptions of some mesoscopic systems, with…
The dynamic coupling between spin and charge currents in non-magnetic conductors is considered. As a consequence of this coupling, the spin dynamics is directly reflected in the electrical impedance of the sample, with a relevant frequency…
The Coulomb drag effect arises due to electron-electron interactions, when two metallic conductors are placed in close vicinity to each other. It manifests itself as a charge current or voltage drop induced in one of the conductors, if the…
Using a finite-frequency recursive Green's function technique, we calculate the dynamic magneto-conductance fluctuations and oscillations in disordered mesoscopic normal metal systems, incorporating inter-particle Coulomb interactions…
Semi-linear response theory determines the absorption coefficient of a driven system using a resistor network calculation: Each unperturbed energy level of a particle in a vibrating trap, or of an electron in a mesoscopic ring, is regarded…
