摘要
The influence of evanescent states on phase-coherent electron transport through disordered mesoscopic structures is examined. These states are found to play a critical role in transport, especially if the structures are heavily disordered and the scattering potentials are attractive, rather than repulsive. We present results from our study of the effect of evanescent states on Anderson localization and conductance fluctuations in disordered semiconductor nanostructures. © 1991.
