Non-equilibrium Green's function theory for non-adiabatic effects in quantum transport [Kershaw and Kosov, J.Chem. Phys. 2017, 147, 224109 and J. Chem. Phys. 2018, 149, 044121] is extended to the case of interacting electrons. We consider a…
A time-dependent approach is used to explore inelastic effects during electron transport through few-level systems. We study a tight-binding chain with one and two sites connected to vibrations. This simple but transparent model gives…
Complex fluids in shear flow and biased dynamics in crowded environments exhibit counterintuitive features which are difficult to address both at theoretical level and by molecular dynamic simulations. To understand some of these features…
