Abstracts

EN

Linear-response theory is combined with the Landauer viewpoint to describe quantitatively transport in a four-lead mesoscopic structure within the presence of a uniform magnetic field. A new multichannel magnetoconductance formula is derived in the case where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the current-flow. The invariance under magnetic reversal test is confirmed.
