Electron-phonon coupling, being one of the most important parameters governing the material evolution after ultrafast energy deposition, yet remains the most unexplored one. In this work, we applied the dynamical coupling approach to…

Investigating the non-linear transport regime in a quantum dot heat engine described by the Anderson-Holstein model, it is shown that a finite electron-phonon interaction leads to a charge induced phonon generation that stimulates a phonon…
