Isolated resonances in conductance fluctuations in ballistic billiards

Original · EN

We study the isolated resonances occurring in conductance fluctuations of ballistic electron systems with a classically mixed phase space. In particular, we calculate the conductance and Wigner-Smith time as well as scattering states and eigenstates of the open and closed cosine billiard, respectively. We demonstrate that the observed isolated resonances and their scattering states can be associated with eigenstates of the closed system. They can all be categorized as hierarchical or regular, depending on where in a phase space representation the corresponding eigenstates are concentrated.
