Conductance Viewed As Transmission Conductance viewed as transmission Yoseph Imry Department of Condensed Matter Physics, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76 100, Israel Rolf Landauer IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, New York 10598 Electric current flow, in transport theory, has usually been viewed as the response to an applied electric field. Alternatively, current flow can be viewed as a consequence of the injection of carriers at contacts and their probability of reaching the other end. This approach has proven to be particularly useful for the small samples made by modern microelectronic techniques. The approach, some of its results, and related issues are described, but without an attempt to cover all the active subtopics in this field.

FO W LE R Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2009 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. ROLF W. LANDAUER February 4, 1927–April 27, 1999 BY CHARLES H . BENNETT AND ALAN B . FO W LE R OLF W. LANDAUER IS REMEMBERED for wide-ranging contri- Rbutions to mesoscopic condensed matter and statistical physics, especially the theory of conductivity of disordered media (as described by Landauer’s formula) and for discov- ering the fundamental law (Landauer’s principle) governing the thermodynamics of information processing by physical systems. He is also remembered as an outstanding scientific and technical manager of IBM’s Watson Research Laboratory, guiding it from relative obscurity to become by 1970 one of the world’s two most important and innovative engineering and scientific laboratories. Rolf Landauer was born in Stuttgart, Germany, to Karl and Anna Landauer on February 4, 1927. Until Hitler had consolidated power Rolf lived in a prosperous, assimilated Jewish family. His father, a successful architect and builder, had been severely wounded while serving the kaiser in the First World War, in which he earned an Iron Cross, and was an ardent German nationalist. He eventually died of war wounds in 194, after Hitler’s accession to power, still believing that Nazi rule was just a temporary aberration.
