The transmission probability, by which the conductance is expressed as $g = (2e^2/h) \\int d\\epsilon (- \\partial f / \\partial \\epsilon) {\\cal T}(\\epsilon)$, is introduced for interacting electrons. Here $f(\\epsilon)$ is the Fermi function, and the transmission probability ${\\cal T}(\\epsilon)$ is defined in terms of a current vertex or a three-point correlation function. We apply this formulation to a series of Anderson impurities of size N (=1,2,3,4), and calculate ${\\cal T}(\\epsilon)$ using the order $U^2$ self-energy and current vertex which satisfy a generalized Ward identity. The results show that ${\\cal T}(\\epsilon)$ has much information about the excitation spectrum: ${\\cal T}(\\epsilon)$ has two broad peaks of the upper and lower Hubbard bands in addition to N resonant peaks which have direct correspondence with the noninteracting spectrum. The peak structures disappear at high temperatures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-06-03T14:37:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "transmission probability", "interacting electrons", "current vertex", "reservoirs", "three-point correlation function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of the Physical Society of Japan", "year": 2001, "month": "Sep", "volume": 70, "number": 9, "pages": 2666 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 18, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001JPSJ...70.2666O" } } }
