title: Transient noise spectra in mesoscopic systems creator: Joho, Karsten subject: 530 subject: 530 Physics description: The focus of this thesis is on the time-dependent electronic quantum noise in nanostructures. Both basic models of mesoscopic physics considered in this context are exactly solvable and constitute effective descriptions of experimentally realizable systems. They consist of a quantum dot that is coupled via quantum tunneling to two electrodes. In one case, the electron-electron interaction is completely neglected, whereas in the other, it is taken into account in a specific manner. On the basis of these models, it is shown by means of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism how the current noise approaches its steady state after an abrupt change of a system parameter and in what respect this behavior differs qualitatively from the time evolution of the current itself. Moreover, the first steps toward the treatment of a related problem - the time-dependent heat noise - are presented. date: 2013 type: Dissertation type: info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/14580/1/final.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00014580 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-145802 identifier: Joho, Karsten (2013) Transient noise spectra in mesoscopic systems.
