Bridging between integral equation technique of classical electrodynamics and landauer-buttiker formalism for quantum transport

Integral equation technique of classical electrodynamics and the Landauer-Buttiker formalism of quantum transport were applied to develop electromagnetic scattering theory for a finite-length nanowire with embedded mesoscopic object. The theory is valid for a rather wide range of nanostructures, such as nanowires, nano-loops, nano-ribbons, Vivaldi antennas, etc.
