Do intradot electron-electron interactions induce dephasing?

We investigate the degree of coherence of electronic transport through a quantum dot (QD) in the presence of an intradot electron-electron interaction. By using an open multiterminal Aharonov-Bohm (AB) setup, we find that the intradot interaction does not induce any dephasing effect and the electron transport through the QD is fully coherent. We also observe that the asymmetric amplitude of the AB oscillation in the conductance through the two-terminal AB setup originates from the interplay between the confined structure and the electron-electron interaction. Thus, one cannot associate a dephasing process with this asymmetric amplitude, as has been done in previous studies.

Four-terminal thermal conductance of mesoscopic dielectric systems.

A four-terminal thermal conductance formula for a mesoscopic dielectric system with arbitrary central scattering region is derived. Similar to four-terminal electric conductance, the four-terminal thermal conductance also has a set of Onsager relations. In the temperature T-->0 limit, in contrast to the two-terminal thermal conductance which is a monotonic function of T and tends to zero, the four-terminal thermal conductance is nonmonotonic and tends to infinity. We also find that temperatures of the two terminals without thermal flux become very close to each other at low temperatures. Rather different behaviors are found for systems satisfying fractional exclusion statistics.
