We propose an ensemble theory for the non-equilibrium statistics to study the thermal transport in anharmonic crystals. In the theory, lattice vibrations of the crystals are quantized by local Bosons(LBs), instead of Phonons as usually used…

Two defect particles that couple to a harmonic chain, acting as common reservoir, can become entangled even when the two defects do not directly interact and the harmonic chain is effectively a thermal reservoir for each individual defect.…
