Electronic transport through a contact of a correlated quantum wire with leads of higher dimension

Abstract

We study theoretically electronic transport through a contact of a quantum wire with 2D or 3D leads and find that if the contact is not smooth and adiabatic then the conduction is strongly suppressed below a threshold voltage V_T, while above V_T the dc current Ī is accompanied by coherent oscillations of frequency f = Ī/e. The effect is related to interelectronic repulsion and interaction of dc current with the Friedel oscillations near a sharp contact. In short conducting channels of length L < L₀ ≅ ℏV_F/eV_T and at high temperatures T > T₀ ≅ eV_T/k_B the effect is destroyed by fluctuations.
