Scaling behavior in a quantum wire with scatterers

Scaling behavior in a quantum wire with scatterers

We study the conductance properties of a straight two-dimensional quantum wire with impurities modeled by $s$-like scatterers. Their presence can lead to strong inter-channel coupling. It was shown that such systems depend sensitively on the number of transverse modes included. Based on a poor man's scaling technique we include the …
