Diffraction and boundary conditions in semi-classical open billiards
The conductance through open quantum dots or quantum billiards shows
fluctuations, that can be explained as interference between waves following
different paths between the leads of the billiard. We examine such systems by
the use of a semi-classical Green's functions. In this paper we examine how the
choice of boundary conditions at the lead mouths affect the diffraction. We
derive a new formula for the S-matrix element. Finally we compare
semi-classical simulations to quantum mechanical ones, and show that this new
formula yield superior results.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
