Quantum conductance fluctuations in 3D ballistic adiabatic wires.

Quantum conductance of 3D ballistic wires with idealy flat boundaries obeys fluctuations with the properties quite distinguishable from those of universal conductance fluctuations: Both their amplitude and the sensitivity to the magnetic field flux $Φ=HS$ penetrated into the sample cross-sectional area $S$ are different and depend on details of the cross-sectioanl shape of the wire. When the latter is integrable, conductance fluctuations have the enlarged amplitude $δG\sim\left[(e^2/h)^3G\right]^{1/4}$. When the cross-sectional shape of a wire is non-integrable, the irregular part of a conductance has the $e^ 2/h$ scale, whereas the correlation field is reduced to the value of $H_S\sim (λ_F/\sqrt S)^{1/2}(Φ_0/S)$ and the correlation voltage of the nonlinear conductance fluctuations has the scale of $eV_c\sim\hbar^2/mS\sim E_F/(S/λ_F)$, where $λ_F=1/p_F$ is the Fermi wavelength.
