5 Grapehne: single and bilayer Li unige
6 Length scales 6 Geometrical dimension (size of conductor) Phase coherence length (distance an electron travels before suffering a phase change of Elastic scattering length (mean free path between elastic scattering events) Inelastic scattering length (distance an electron travels before loosing an energy kt) Beenakker and van Houten, 1991 ) Macroscopic conductor Mesoscopic conductor
7 7 Physics versus geometry Mesoscopic physics = «Between mircoscopic and macroscopic» Nano physics = on the geometrical length of a nanometer Definition of mesoscopic physics is based on physical length scales. In contrast, nanophysiscs, is a definition based on a geometrical length scale.

22 Eigen channels 22 Eigen channels hermitian matrix; real eigenvalues hermitian matrix; real eigenvalues are the genetic code of mesoscopic conductors!! Many single channel conductors in parallel. All the properties we discussed for single-channel two-probe conductors apply equally to many-channel multi-probe conductors: in particular

32 Sub-determinants of conductance matrix 32 D is a sub-determinant of rank three of the conductance matrix. All sub-determinants are (up to a sign) equal. Proof: Expand total determinant into sub-determinants: The only solution without current at any terminal requires that all applied voltages are equal.
