Random matrix approach to `nonuniversal' conductance

Abstract

Recent experiments on the conductance of high quality quantum wires have revealed an unexpected feature: the quantization step of the conductance is apparently system dependent. We provide the understanding of this behaviour using the appropriately extended random matrix approach. A single additional parameter governs the size of the conductance quantization steps. In effect the behaviour seems to remain `universal', generic for the conductance of a class of mesoscopic systems.
