Abstract

The generating function of energy counting statistics is derived for phononic junction systems. It is expressed in terms of the contour-ordered self-energy of the lead with shifted arguments, ΣA(τ,τ)=ΣL(τ+x(τ),τ+x(τ))ΣL(τ,τ)\Sigma^A(\tau, \tau') = \Sigma_L\bigl(\tau +\hbar x(\tau), \tau' + \hbar x(\tau')\bigr) - \Sigma_L(\tau, \tau'), where ΣL(τ,τ)\Sigma_L(\tau,\tau') is the usual contour-ordered self-energy of the left lead. The cumulants of the energy transferred in a given time tMt_M from the lead to the center is obtained by taking derivatives. A transient result of the first four cumulants of a graphene junction is presented. It is found that measurements cause the energy to flow into the lead.
