We consider two helical liquids on opposite edges of a narrow two-dimensional
topological insulator, which are connected by one or several local tunnel
junctions. In the presence of spatially inhomogeneous Rashba spin-orbit
coupling, the spin textures of the helical states on opposite edges are
different. We demonstrate that this has a strong impact on the electron
transport between the edges. In particular, in the case of many random tunnel
contacts, the localization length depends strongly on the spin textures of the
edge states.

4. | Finite frequency noise properties of the non-equilibrium Anderson impurity model |
Christoph P. Orth, Daniel F. Urban, and Andreas Komnik. Phys. Rev. B 86, 125324 (2012)
We analyze the spectrum of the electric-current autocorrelation function
(noise power) in the Anderson impurity model biased by a finite transport
voltage. Special emphasis is placed on the interplay of non-equilibrium effects
and electron-electron interactions. Analytic results are presented for a
perturbation expansion in the interaction strength $U$. Compared to the
non-interacting setup we find a suppression of noise for finite frequencies in
equilibrium and an amplification in non-equilibrium. Furthermore, we use a
diagrammatic resummation scheme to obtain non-perturbative results in the
regime of intermediate $U$. At finite voltage, the noise spectrum shows sharp
peaks at positions related to the Kondo temperature instead of the voltage.
