Abstract

We study the current of Bose particles between two reservoirs connected by a one-dimensional channel. We analyze the problem from first principles by considering a microscopic model of conductivity in the noninteracting limit. Equations for the transient and the stationary current are derived analytically. The asymptotic current has a form similar to the Landauer-B\"uttiker equation for electronic current in mesoscopic devices.

Landauer Type Approach to Electron Conduction in One-Dimensional Systems and Interaction Effects

Arisato Kawabata

Electron conduction in one-dimensional system is investigated explicitly taking into account the reservoirs to which 1D channel is connected at its ends. We calculate the current driven by the chemical potential difference of two reservoirs, using the linear response theory by Kubo. At 0K, the conductance of 1D channel is expressed in terms of one-electron Green's functions even in the presence of the interaction, in contrast to the theory based on Kubo formula, in which two-electron Green's functions are essentially involved. The formalism in this paper provides a new interpretation of Landauer formula. As regards the interaction effects, the conductance of Fermi liquid without potential scattering is 2 e 2 / h , while that of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid deceases with power low as the length of 1D channel increases.

Quantum State of the Fermionic Carriers in a Transport Channel Connecting Particle Reservoirs

Andrey R. Kolovsky, Дмитрий Н. Максимов

We analyze the quantum state of fermionic carriers in a transport channel attached to a particle reservoir. The analysis is done from first principles by considering microscopic models of the reservoir and transport channel. In the case of infinite effective temperature of the reservoir we demonstrate a full agreement between the results of straightforward numerical simulations of the system dynamics and the solution of the master equation on the single-particle density matrix of the carriers in the channel. This allows us to predict the quantum state of carriers in the case where the transport channel connects two reservoirs with different chemical potentials.

Non-Markovian master equation for quantum transport of fermionic carriers

Дмитрий Н. Максимов, S. V. Aksenov, Andrey R. Kolovsky

We propose a simple, yet feasible, model for quantum transport of fermionic carriers across tight-binding chain connecting two reservoirs maintained at arbitrary temperatures and chemical potentials. The model allows for elementary derivation of the master equation for the reduced single particle density matrix (SPDM) in a closed form in both Markov and Born approximations. In the Markov approximation the master equation is solved analytically, whereas in the Born approximation the problem is reduced to an algebraic equation for the SPDM in the Redfield form. The non-Markovian equation is shown to lead to resonant transport similar to Landauer's conductance. It is shown that in the deep non-Markovian regime the transport current can be matched with that obtained by the non-equilibrium Green's function method.

Current in coherent quantum systems connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs

Shigeru Ajisaka, Felipe Barra, Carlos Mejía-Monasterio +1 more

We study particle current in a recently proposed model for coherent quantum transport. In this model a system connected to mesoscopic Fermi reservoirs (meso-reservoir) is driven out of equilibrium by the action of super reservoirs thermalized to prescribed temperatures and chemical potentials by a simple dissipative mechanism described by the Lindblad equation. We compare exact (numerical) results with theoretical expectations based on the Landauer formula

One-dimensional conductance through an arbitrary potential

Tobias Stauber

The finite-size Tomonaga-Luttinger Hamiltonian with an arbitrary potential is mapped onto a noninteracting Fermi gas with renormalized potential. This is done by means of flow equations for Hamiltonians and is valid for small electron-electron interaction. This method also yields an alternative bosonization formula for the transformed field operator which makes no use of Klein factors. The two-terminal conductance can then be evaluated using the Landauer formula. We obtain similar results for infinite systems at finite temperature by identifying the flow parameter with the inverse squared temperature in the asymptotic regime.

Cold bosons in the Landauer setup

Dmitri B. Gutman, Yuval Gefen, A. D. Mirlin

We consider a one-dimensional potential trap that connects two reservoirs containing cold Bose atoms. The thermal current and single-particle bosonic Green's functions are calculated under nonequilibrium conditions. The bosonic statistics leads to a Luttinger liquid state with a nonlinear spectrum of collective modes. This results in the suppression of thermal current at low temperatures and affects the single-particle Green's functions.
