Generalized Fokker-Planck Equation For Multichannel Disordered Quantum Conductors
Abstract
The Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar (DMPK) equation, which describes the distribution of transmission eigenvalues of multichannel disordered conductors, has been enormously successful in describing a variety of detailed transport properties of mesoscopic wires. However, it is limited to the regime of quasi one dimension only. We derive a one parameter generalization of the DMPK equation, which should broaden the scope of the equation beyond the limit of quasi one dimension.
