Conductance in a periodically doped quantum wire
arXiv:cond-mat/9710265
Abstract
In this paper we will give a short rewiew about the conductance of a mesoscopic waveguide strip with a few impurities. Green-function method is used allowing to treat systems with low number of impurities, not only the completly clean case. Investigating a wire containing Dirac-delta potentials (modelling the impurities) we found that increasing number of impurities can cause a transition of the structure of conductance. The staircase like structure of the clean system vanishes and the conductance of a system containing finite number of impurities located periodically will be determined by the band structure of
