In Section 2.5:2-t example: with broadened Fermi f0

Lec13:

Practical example: Roukes

VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

If T = T’, can get to Landauer-Buttiker but no reason why T should = T’.Especially if energies from probes took e- far from equilibrium.

i as a function of how much energy E/what channel M the e- is in

Lec13:

VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

Can expect T = T’ at equilibrium.Consider: if energies from probes don’t take e- far from equilibrium:

Basically I = G^V = G^ (1-2) ethat works when probes hotted things up but not too far from equilibrium

Lec13:

VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

Example: does the figure shown appear to meet the linear (I = G^ V) regime criteria?

Criteria is: 1-2 << kBT

FWHM shown is kBT

Answer: No, they appear to be about the same (red and blue).

However, part of FT(E) is low value. Comparing an ‘effective’ 1-2 (green)

maybe it’s OK.

Lec13:

Lec13: If T(E) changes rapidly with energy, the “correlation energy” c is said to be small.

A very minimal change in e- energy and you are getting a different and much worse transmission probability.

Example: in HW01 Pr. 1.1 you solved for for a 2-DEG in GaAs @ 1 K using the graph shown in Figure 1.3.2 .

Estimate the corresponding correlation energy c

Answer:

Lec10: Scattering: Landauer formula for R for 1 coherent scatterer X:

Reflection = resistance

VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

E > barrier height V0

E < barrier height V0

Lec 10: Coherent scattering means that phases of both transmitted and reflected e- waves are related to the incoming e- wave in a known manner

VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

Lec 10: Transmission probability for 2 scatterers: T => T12:

That’s interesting. That Ratio is additive:

Assuming that the scatterers are identical:

VM Ayres, ECE802-604, F13

Therefore: Resistance for two coherent scatterers is:

Resistance is due to partially coherent /partially incoherent transmission
