We study the non-linear system of equations that determines the probe parameters. We show that it has a unique solution, which can be computed with a fast converging iterative algorithm. We illustrate our method with two well-known models: the three-terminal system and the open Aharovov-Bohm interferometer.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-03-24T20:03:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.30.Fk" ], "keywords": [ "voltage probes far", "temperature", "equilibrium", "open aharovov-bohm interferometer", "non-linear system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.85.125120", "year": 2012, "month": "Mar", "volume": 85, "number": 12, "pages": 125120 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhRvB..85l5120J" } } }
