Two complementary effects modify the GHz magnetization dynamics of nanoscale
heterostructures of ferromagnetic and normal materials relative to those of the isolated …

Using remarkably simple experimental techniques it is possible to gently break a metallic
contact and thus form conducting nanowires. During the last stages of the pulling a neck …

The sample-to-sample fluctuations in the critical current of a disordered Josesphson junction
are analyzed by means of a transmission-matrix formalism. If the junction becomes small …

Persistent currents circulate continuously without requiring external power sources. Here,
we extend their theory to include dissipation within the framework of non-Hermitian quantum …

Assuming the validity of random matrices for describing the statistics of a closed chaotic
quantum system, we study analytically some statistical properties of the S-matrix …

We calculate the probability distribution of the matrix Q=− i ħ S− 1∂ S/∂ E for a chaotic
system with scattering matrix S at energy E. The eigenvalues τ j of Q are the so-called proper …

The authors review conductance effects in small samples at low temperatures where
quantum confinement and quantum interference are significant perturbations on the …

A recent theory is reviewed for the sample-to-sample fluctuations in the critical current of a
Josephson junction consisting of a disordered point contact or microbridge. The theory is …

We consider the scattering matrix approach to quantum electron transport in meso-and
nanoconductors. This approach is an alternative to the more conventional kinetic equation …

The concepts of Wigner time delay and Wigner–Smith matrix allow us to characterise
temporal aspects of a quantum scattering process. The paper reviews the statistical …
