Electronic transport in quasi-1D mesoscopic systems: the correlated electron approach

The Coulomb interaction plays a crucial role in transport properties of ultra small systems and is the most relevant energy scale for dynamical properties of mesoscopic structures. The strongly correlated model for electrons is used to calculate the tunneling current through a dot weakly coupled to 2D free electron channels. The model takes into account a bath of phonons in the island, a magnetic field applied parallel to the current and the electron–phonon interaction in the island.
