Confinement in a gas d=2 ("Quantum point contact"). Ballistic transport.
Landauer formula for non-reflecting contacts. Contact resistance. Contribution of one or more sub-bands. Coherent transport through a one-dimensional conductor with a scattering center . Associated resistance. Coherent transport through a one-dimensional conductor with two centers of dispersion. Landauer formula extended to non-reflecting contacts and presence of scattering centers.
Important lengths in the mesoscopic system. Conclusions for the behavior of the system based on the relationship between the characteristic lengths.
