Transport properties of narrow two-dimensional conducting wires in which the electron scattering is caused by side edges' roughness have been studied. The method for calculating dynamic characteristics of such conductors is proposed which…
We study the effect of surface scattering on transport properties in many-mode conducting channels (electron waveguides). Assuming a strong roughness of the surface profiles, we show that there are two independent control parameters that…
Electron transport in thin metallic wires and films is strongly influenced by the quality of their surface. Weak localization and magnetoconductivity are also sensitive to the electron scattering at the edges of the sample. We study weak…
A unified theory for the conductance of a long multimode quantum wire whose finite segment has randomly rough boundaries is developed. It enables one to take account of all mechanisms of wave scattering, both related to boundary roughness…
A method is proposed for studying wave and particle transport in disordered waveguide systems of dimension higher than unity by means of exact one-dimensionalization of the dynamic equations in the mode representation. As a particular case,…
This paper presents an analytical study of the coexistence of different transport regimes in quasi-one-dimensional surface-disordered waveguides (or electron conductors). To elucidate main features of surface scattering, the case of two…
Rashba spin-orbit coupling appears in 2D systems lacking inversion symmetry, and causes the spin-splitting of otherwise degenerate energy bands into an upper and lower helicity band. In this paper, we explore how impurity scattering affects…
The electron transport in a 1D conductor with an isolated local defect such as an impurity or a non-adiabatic contact is studied theoretically. New regime of conduction in correlated 1D systems is predicted beyond the well-known regime of…
Calculations are presented of the in-plane far-infrared conductivity of a d_{x^2-y^2}-wave superconductor, incorporating elastic scattering due to impurities and inelastic scattering due to spin fluctuations. The impurity scattering is…
The method is proposed adapted for calculating the T=0 conductance of arbitrarily stretched disordered conducting strips in terms of the Kubo theory. The 2D scattering problem is solved through exact one-dimensionalization in mode…
We calculate the conductance of a quantum wire with two occupied subbands in a presence of a barrier taking into account the interaction between electrons. We extend the renormalization-group equation for the scattering matrix of the…
We present analytical results on transport properties of many-mode waveguides with randomly stratified disorder having long-range correlations. To describe such systems, the theory of 1D transport recently developed for a correlated…
We study a new mechanism of wave/electron scattering in multi-mode surface-corrugated waveguides/wires. This mechanism is due to specific square-gradient terms in an effective Hamiltonian describing the surface scattering, that were…
In this paper we present and discuss our results for the conductance and conductance fluctuations of narrow quantum wires with two types of disorder: boundary roughness (hard wall confining potential) and islands of strongly scattering…
Transport properties of a single-mode waveguide with rough boundary are studied by discrimination between two mechanisms of surface scattering, the amplitude and square-gradient ones. Although these mechanisms are generically mixed, we show…
We investigate the diffusive electron transport in conductors with spatially inhomogeneous magnetic properties taking into account both impurity and normal scattering. It is found that the additional interface resistance that arises due to…
The in-plane electron mobility has been calculated in InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices at low temperatures. The interface roughness scattering and ionized impurity scattering are investigated as the dominant scattering mechanisms in limiting…
The electron-electron scattering increases the resistance of ballistic many-mode channels whose width is smaller than their length. We show that this increase saturates in the limit of infinitely long channels. Because the mechanisms of…
Surface morphology of high mobility heterostructures is examined and correlated with d.c. transport. {\it All} samples examined show evidence of lines in the [1$\bar{1}$0] direction with roughness ranging from small amplitude features to…
Diffusion of electrons in a two-dimensional system with time-dependent random potentials is investigated numerically. In the absence of spin-orbit scattering, the conductivity shows universal weak localization correction. In the presence of…
