Current-induced phenomena are often obscured by Joule heating, and their steady states are difficult to analyze in large open systems. We introduce a translationally invariant asymmetric-hopping model as an effective bulk description of…

This paper reports conduction mechanism in a-\sbse over a wide range of temperature (238K to 338K) and frequency (5Hz to 100kHz). The d.c. conductivity measured as a function of temperature shows semiconducting behaviour with activation…

In the conventional theory of hopping transport the positions of localized electronic states are assumed to be fixed, and thermal fluctuations of atoms enter the theory only through the notion of phonons. On the other hand, in 1D and 2D…

We model an interacting quantum dot of electrons by a Hamiltonian with random and all-to-all single particle hopping (of r.m.s. strength $t$) and two-particle interactions (of r.m.s. strength $J$). For $t \ll J$, such a model has a regime…
