We present a comprehensive theoretical treatment of the effect of electron-phonon interactions in molecular transistors, including both quantal and classical limits and we study both equilibrated and out of equilibrium phonons. We present…
Anharmonicity of the inter-atomic potential is taken into account for the quantitative simulation of the conduction and valence band offsets for highly-strained semiconductor heterostructures. The anharmonicity leads to a weaker compressive…
Semiclassical quantization is exact only for the so called \emph{solvable} potentials, such as the harmonic oscillator. In the \emph{nonsolvable} case the semiclassical phase, given by a series in $\hbar$, yields more or less approximate…
We obtain the phase diagram of the half-filled two-dimensional Hubbard model on a square lattice in the presence of Einstein phonons. We find that the interplay between the instantaneous electron-electron repulsion and electron-phonon…

The relaxation of electrons in quantum dots via phonon emission is hindered by the discrete nature of the dot levels (phonon bottleneck). In order to clarify the issue theoretically we consider a system of $N$ discrete fermionic states (dot…
We present analytic solutions to the spatially homogeneous axion field equation, using a model potential which strongly resembles the $(1-\cos \theta)$ standard anharmonic potential. We find that the anharmonicity amplifies early universe…

The anharmonicity resulted from the intrinsic phonon interaction is neglected by quasiharmonic approximation. Although the intensive researches about anharmonicity have been done, up to now the free energy contributed by the anharmonicity…
We consider a one-dimensional infinite chain of coupled charged har- monic oscillators in a magnetic field with a small stochastic perturbation of order $\epsilon$. We prove that for a space-time scale of order $\epsilon$^{-1} the density…
Non-perturbative solutions to the quantum-field theory is a topic of current and broad interest, especially for the heavy ion and laser physics communities, since they investigate particle production in the presence of strong external…

The nonlinear supersymmetry of one-dimensional systems is investigated in the context of the quantum anomaly problem. Any classical supersymmetric system characterized by the nonlinear in the Hamiltonian superalgebra is symplectomorphic to…
We show that thermal equilibrium between conduction electrons and phonons becomes kinetically unstable when the renormalized electron-phonon coupling exceeds a certain threshold. We prove that negative electronic specific heat,…
On the basis of the self-consistent phonon theory and the special displacement method, we develop an approach for the treatment of anharmonicity in solids. We show that this approach enables the efficient calculation of…
Conventional weak-coupling perturbation theory suffers from problems that arise from resonant coupling of successive orders in the perturbation series. Multiple-scale perturbation theory avoids such problems by implicitly performing an…
We analyze decoherence of an electron in a double-dot due to the interaction with acoustic phonons. For large tunneling rates between the quantum dots, the main contribution to decoherence comes from the phonon emission relaxation…
The spectral problem for O(D) symmetric polynomial potentials allows for a partial algebraic solution after analytical continuation to negative even dimensions D. This fact is closely related to the disappearance of the factorial growth of…
