Conductance fluctuations and boundary conditions
arXiv:cond-mat/0106245 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.64.172202
Abstract
The conductance fluctuations for various types for two-- and three--dimensional disordered systems with hard wall and periodic boundary conditions are studied, all the way from the ballistic (metallic) regime to the localized regime. It is shown that the universal conductance fluctuations (UCF) depend on the boundary conditions. The same holds for the metal to insulator transition. The conditions for observing the UCF are also given.
