Time-Dependent Transport in Mesoscopic Structures
Abstract
A discussion of recent work on time-dependent transport in mesoscopic structures is presented. The discussion emphasizes the use of time-dependent transport to gain information on the charge distribution and its collective dynamics. We discuss the RC-time of mesoscopic capacitors, the dynamic conductance of quantum point contacts and dynamic weak localization effects in chaotic cavities. We review work on adiabatic quantum pumping and photon-assisted transport, and conclude with a list which demonstrates the wide range of problems which are of interest.
