These are notes for lectures delivered at the NATO ASI on Dynamics in Leiden, The Netherlands, in July 1998. The quantum kinetic theory for noninteracting electrons in a disordered solid is introduced and discussed. We first use many-body…
We prove that the electron density function of a real physical system can be uniquely determined by its values on any finite subsystem. This establishes the existence of a rigorous density-functional theory for any open electronic system.…
The theory of dynamical Coulomb blockade is extended to tunneling elements driven by a time-dependent voltage. It is shown that for standard set-ups where an external voltage is applied to a tunnel junction via an impedance, time-dependent…
The non-equilibrium steady states of a semi-infinite quasi-one-dimensional univalent binary electrolyte solution, characterised by non-vanishing electric currents, are investigated by means of Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) theory. Exact…
We prove a well-posedness result for stochastic Allen-Cahn type equations in a bounded domain coupled with generic boundary conditions. The (nonlinear) flux at the boundary aims at describing the interactions with the hard walls and is…
The persistent current is here studied in one-dimensional disordered rings that contain interacting electrons. We used the density matrix renormalization group algorithms in order to compute the stiffness, a measure that gives the magnitude…
We obtain an exact expression for the conductivity of a disordered, non-Galilean-invariant Fermi liquid by solving the kinetic equation with both screened Coulomb and $z=3$ Pomeranchuk critical interactions. While consistent with previous…
We show how certain properties of the Anderson model on a tree are related to the solutions of a non-linear integral equation. Whether the wave function is extended or localized, for example, corresponds to whether or not the equation has a…
Inspired by the work of Kamenev and Kohn, we present a general discussion of the two-terminal dc conductance of molecular devices within the framework of Time Dependent Current-Density Functional Theory. We derive a formally exact…
Persistent currents circulate continuously without requiring external power sources. Here, we extend their theory to include dissipation within the framework of non-Hermitian quantum Hamiltonians. Using Green's function formalism, we…
We study long-range correlations of equilibrium current densities in a two-dimensional mesoscopic system with the time reversal invariance broken by a random or homogeneous magnetic field. Our result is universal, i.e. it does not depend on…
The current voltage (IV) characteristics for perpendicular transport through two sequentially coupled wires of finite length is calculated analytically. The transport within a Coulomb blockade step is assisted by plasmon resonances that…
We show that the presence of a localized drive in an otherwise diffusive system results in steady-state density and current profiles that decay algebraically to their global average value, away from the drive in two or higher dimensions. An…
In electrochemical systems, an understanding of the underlying transport processes is required to aid in their better design. This includes knowledge of possible near-electrode convective mixing that can enhance measured currents. Here, for…
Density-functional theory requires an extra variable besides the electron density in order to properly incorporate magnetic-field effects. In a time-dependent setting, the gauge-invariant, total current density takes that role. A peculiar…
Based on the quantum kinetic equations for systems with SU(2) structure, regularization-free density and pseudospin currents are calculated in graphene realized as the infinite mass-limit of electrons with quadratic dispersion and a proper…
Current transfer is defined as a charge transfer process where the transferred charge carries information about its original motion. We have recently suggested that such transfer causes the asymmetry observed in electron transfer induced by…
A formalism is presented to obtain closed evolution equations for asymptotic probability distribution functions of turbulence magnitudes. The formalism is derived for a generic evolution equation, so that the final result can be easily…
Metal microbridges with a high impurity content and shorter than the energy relaxation length are considered. Their conductance is calculated with allowance made for the Coulomb electron-electron interaction. It is shown that nonequilibrium…
