Abstract

We compute the quantum correction due to weak localization for transport properties of disordered quasi-one-dimensional conductors, by integrating the Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar equation for the distribution of the transmission eigenvalues. The result is independent of sample length or mean free path, and has a universal dependence on the symmetry index of the ensemble of scattering matrices. This result generalizes the theory of weak localization for the conductance to all linear statistics on the transmission eigenvalues. ***Accepted for publication in Physical Review B.****
