Abstract
Based on the phenomenological statistical model of dephasing introduced by Pala and Iannaccone [Phys. Rev. B 69, 235304 (2004)], we perform an analytical and numerical calculation of electron transmission through a one-dimensional (1D) scattering chain. With the introduction of random phase fluctuations into the computation of the scattering matrix, dephasing can be treated as a distribution phenomenon. By adopting the scattering matrix method combined with a Monte Carlo averaging procedure, we simulate the transition from a coherent transport to a fully incoherent transport in the 1D scattering chain. We also find the random-phase fluctuations closely related to the phase breaker model introduced by Mello et al. [Phys. Rev. B 61, 16570 (2000)].
