Quasi-one-dimensional quantum transport
= Quasi-one-dimensional quantum transport
A narrow conductor has discrete transverse modes and nearly continuous longitudinal motion. Its conductance depends on the transmissions of occupied <quantum wire> subbands, spin counting and contacts. The <Landauer formula> connects these transmissions to two-terminal conductance. Disorder, interference, dephasing and interactions distinguish ballistic, diffusive, localized and interacting regimes.
