Nonlinear transport and current fluctuation in an AB ring with a quantum dot

Abstract

Nonequilibrium steady states are explicitly constructed for a noninteracting electron model of an Aharonov-Bohm (AB) ring with a quantum dot (QD) with the aid of asymptotic fields. The Fano line shapes and AB oscillations are shown to strongly depend on the bias voltage. Current fluctuations are studied as well. © 2005 The Physical Society of Japan.
