The electron transport between the first and the second tubes exhibits resonance behavior

It is shown that a point impurity may lead to a partial or complete destruction of the steplike structure of the AE current as a function of the chemical potential

[en] An analytical expression for the coefficient of absorption of electromagnetic radiation by electrons in a quantum wire in a magnetic field is derived. The case of a magnetic field transverse with respect to the wire axis is considered.

The effect of the scattering of electrons at optical phonons is studied, and it is shown that scattering is responsible for additional resonance absorption peaks.
