Theory and simulation of scanning gate microscopy : applied to the investigation of transport in quantum point contacts

This work is concerned with the theoretical description of the Scanning Gate Microscopy (SGM) in general and with solving particular models of the quantum point contact (QPC) nanostructure, analytically and numerically. SGM is an experimental technique, which measures the conductance of a nanostruct...
