Abstract:
We address quantum transport of non-interacting fermionic particle in the tight-binding chain
which connects two particle reservoirs (the leads or contacts) with different chemical
potentials. We unify within framework of the single model three different approaches for
calculating the stationary current across the chain: Landauer’s theory, the Esaki-Tsu theory
for biased lattices, and Markovian master equation for the carriers’ density matrix.
