Role of quantum coherence in series resistors
Abstract
Landauer's approach which yields the resistance of an obstacle in an otherwise perfect wire due to elastic scattering at the obstacle is augmented by including localized inelastic scatterers within the sample. The inelastic scatterers invoked consist of an electron reservoir coupled via a lead to the wire. The key advantage of this method is that the effect of inelastic scattering can be studied by solving an elastic scattering problem. We investigate the resistance of a series of two (or more) ob- stacles and study the transition from completely coherent transmission through the sample to completely incoherent transmission. For a sample with a small transmission probability, increasing inelastic scattering decreases the resistance. At an intermediate value of inelastic scattering, the resistance reaches a minimum to increase again when inelastic scattering processes start to dominate the resistance.

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.
