Density functional theory provides the most widespread framework for the realistic description of the electronic structure of solids, but the description of strongly-correlated systems has remained so far elusive. Here we consider a…
We present an approach to steady-state mesoscopic transport based on the maximum entropy principle formulation of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. This approach is valid in the nonlinear regime of high current, and yields the…
A square lattice of mesoscopic resistors is considered. Each bond is modeled as a narrow waveguide, while junctions are sources of elastic scattering given by a scattering matrix \mathbf{S}. Symmetry and unitarity constraints are used in a…

The Two-Body Dirac equations of constraint theory are of special interest not only in view of applications for phenomenological calculations of mesonic spectra but also because they avoid no-go theorems about relativistic interactions.…
We show that in magnetic nanostructures with a homogeneous magnetic order, the equilibrium spin current can be nonzero. For example, this is the case of a wide magnetic ring with the magnetization along the ring axis. The physical reason of…
It is demonstrated that the strong coupling of an electron gas to photons in systems with broken time-reversal symmetry results in bound electron-photon states which cannot be backscattered elastically. As a consequence, the electron gas…

We study effects of electron-electron interactions on the steady-state characteristics of a hexagonal molecular ring in a magnetic field, as a model for a benzene molecular junction. The system is driven out of equilibrium by applying a…
We show that coupling together two closed thermodynamic systems that independently attain equilibrium may give rise to a nonequilibrium stationary state (NESS) with a persistent, non-vanishing current. We study a simple example that is…
A simplest model of the persistent current in presence of many-body interaction in a mesoscopic ring is presented. The Bethe ansatz approach is used to find exact solutions. Both cases in the absence of impurity and in the presence of…
We argue that twisted (helicoidal) graphene nanoribbons may support dissipationless electric current in the presence of static uniform magnetic field. The non-resistive charge transfer in this parity-odd system should be enhanced by thermal…
