Conductance determined by transmission: probes and quantised constriction resistance
Open accessAbstract
The domain of validity and the origin of different formulae relating conductance to transmissive behaviour is discussed. The large variety of possible measurement probes is emphasised. The quantised conductance of constrictions, studied in recent experiments, is treated. Theoretical discussions of that have stressed the supposedly unique role of G = (2 e 2 / h )Tr( tt † ) in this connection, regardless of the exact geometry or probe locations. This is shown to be incorrect, and a simple expression for the dependence of the 'quantised' conductance on the width of the wide region is given. We particularly emphasise the distinction between, on the one hand, experiments and discussions that are strictly limited to events at reservoirs and, on the other, those that have a concern with variations within the sample.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
