Theory of quantum transport in mesoscopic systems: antidot lattices

摘要

A review of magnetotransport in antidot lattices mainly from a theoretical point of view is given. The topics include various mechanisms proposed for the explanation of the origin of the commensurability peaks such as pinned orbits, runaway orbits, and diffusive orbits combined with a magnetic focusing effect. Roles of quantum effects and antidot disorder, the difference between square and triangular lattices, and localization effects are also discussed.
