Adiabatically switched-on electrical bias and the Landauer–Büttiker formula
Adiabatically switched-on electrical bias and the Landauer–Büttiker formula
Consider a three dimensional system which looks like a cross connected pipe system, i.e., a small sample coupled to a finite number of leads. We investigate the current running through this system, in the linear response regime, when we adiabatically turn on an electrical bias between leads. The main technical …
