Theory of conductance and noise additivity in parallel mesoscopic conductors
arXiv:cond-mat/9703236 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.56.12104
Abstract
We present a theory of conductance and noise in generic mesoscopic conductors connected in parallel, and we demonstrate that the additivity of conductance and of shot noise arises as a sole property of the junctions connecting the two (or more) conductors in parallel. Consequences on the functionality of devices based on the Aharonov-Bohm effect are also drawn.
