Weak values from displacement currents in multiterminal electron devices

D Marian, N Zanghì, X Oriols - Physical review letters, 2016 - APS

Electrodynamics Correlates Knock-on and Knock-off: Current is Spatially Uniform in Ion Channels

RS Eisenberg - arXiv preprint arXiv:2002.09012, 2020 - arxiv.org
Ions in channels have been imagined as hard balls in a macroscopic mechanical model, for
a very long time. Hard balls interact by collisions in such models, randomly knocking each …
