Explicit expressions for $\\rho(\\Gamma)$ are derived for several instances of systems with broken time-reversal invariance, in particular for quasi-1D and 3D media. In the case of perfectly coupled lead with a few channels ($M\\sim 1$) the most salient features are tails $\\rho(\\Gamma)\\sim 1/\\Gamma$ for narrow resonances reflecting exponential localization and $\\rho(\\Gamma)\\sim 1/\\Gamma^2$ for broad resonances reflecting states located in the vicinity of the attached wire. For multimode wires with $M\\gg 1$, intermediate asymptotics $\\rho(\\Gamma)\\sim 1/\\Gamma^{3/2}$ is shown to emerge reflecting diffusive nature of decay into wide enough contacts.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-07T09:15:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "disordered medium", "model approach", "single-lead reflection", "narrow resonances reflecting exponential localization", "broad resonances reflecting states" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
