We develop a detailed theory for spin transport in a one-dimensional quantum wire described by Luttinger liquid theory. A hydrodynamic description for the quantum wire is supplemented by boundary conditions taking into account the exchange…
We investigate the behavior of the four-terminal resistance $R_{4pt}$ in a quantum wire described by a Luttinger liquid in two relevant situations: (i) in the presence of a single impurity within the wire and (ii) under the effect of…
We discuss the calculation of the linear conductance through a Coulomb-blockade quantum dot in the presence of interactions beyond the charging energy. In the limit where the temperature is large compared with a typical tunneling width, we…
The linear conductance of a tunnel junction in series with an ohmic resistor is determined in the high temperature limit. The tunneling current is treated nonperturbatively by means of path integral techniques. Due to quantum effects the…
The Luttinger liquid (LL) model of one-dimensional (1D) electronic systems provides a powerful tool for understanding strongly correlated physics including phenomena such as spin-charge separation. Substantial theoretical efforts have…
We compute the transport properties of one dimensional interacting electrons, also known as a Luttinger liquid. We show that a renormalization group study allows to obtain the temperature dependence of the conductivity in an intermediate…
Recent advances in single atom manipulation have made it possible to create "wires" in the form of atomic scale linear structures on a semiconductor surface. If such structures are to be used in future electronic devices, it will be…
The explicit expressions for a nonresonant tunneling current mediated by the bridging units of the molecular wire embedded between the metallic electrodes, are derived. The specific regimes of the charge transmission controlled by…
Many one--dimensional quantum systems, in particular interacting electron and spin systems, can be described a Luttinger liquids. Here, some basic ideas of this picture of one--dimensional systems are briefly reviewed. I then discuss the…
Coulomb interaction effects have pronounced consequences in carbon nanotubes due to their 1D nature. In particular, correlations imply the breakdown of Fermi liquid theory and typically lead to Luttinger liquid behavior characterized by…
We analyze a single electron transistor composed of two semi-infinite one dimensional quantum wires and a relatively short segment between them. We describe each wire section by a Luttinger model, and treat tunneling events in the…
We analyze the heat current flowing across interacting quantum dots within the Coulomb blockade regime. Power can be generated by either voltage or temperature biases. In the former case, we find nonlinear contributions to the Peltier…
We report the low temperature current-voltage (I-V) characteristics studies in quasi-one dimensional conducting polymer nanofibers. We find a threshold voltage Vt below which little current flows at temperatures below 30-40 K. For V > Vt…
We theoretically investigate transport in a spin incoherent one dimensional electron system, which may be realized in quantum wires at low electron density and finite temperature. Both the pure and disordered cases are considered, both in…
The Coulomb drag between two spatially separated, 2 \mu m long lithographically defined quantum wires has been studied experimentally in the absence of interwire tunneling. The drag resistance R_D shows peaks when the 1D subband bottoms of…
Luttinger liquid behavior of one-dimensional correlated electron systems is characterized by power-law scaling of a variety of physical observables with exponents determined by a single interaction dependent parameter K. We suggest a setup…
We study transport through multiply coupled carbon nano-tubes (quantum wires) and compute the conductances through the two wires as a function of the two gate voltages $g_1$ and $g_2$ controlling the chemical potential of the electrons in…
We propose a scenario to understand the puzzling features of the recent experiment by Kang and coworkers on tunneling between laterally coupled quantum Hall liquids by modeling the system as a pair of coupled chiral Luttinger liquid with a…
A unified approach has been developed to study nonlinear dynamics of a 1D lattice of particles with long-range power-law interaction. A classical case is treated in the framework of the generalization of the well-known Frenkel-Kontorova…
The charge transport of a (Tomonaga-)Luttinger liquid with tunnel barriers exhibits universal scaling: the current-voltage curves measured at various temperatures collapse into a single curve upon rescaling. The exponent characterizing this…
