In the Kirchhoff model of a biopolymer, conformation dynamics can be described in terms of solitary waves, for certain special cross-section asymmetries. Applying this to the problem of electron transport, we show that the quantum effective…

We present a new exact solution for the twist of an asymmetric thin elastic rods. The shape of such rods is described by the static Kirchhoff equations. In the case of constant curvatire and torsion the twist of the asymmetric rod…

Electron transport in a quantum wire with leads is investigated with actual Coulomb interaction taken into account. The latter includes both the direct interaction of electrons with each other and their interaction via the image charges…

Quasi-two-dimensional systems may exibit curvature, which adds three-dimensional influence to their internal properties. As shown by da Costa \cite{dacosta}, charged particles moving on a curved surface experience a curvature-dependent…

A solution of the modified Boltzmann transport equations is found, which describes features of the spin and charge transport in a solid. Two modifications of the Boltzmann transport equation were introduced. The first modification describes…

This paper continues the preceding paper on the problem of quantum dynamics on the lattice. Firstly we consider the multiple reflections of the wave function (Loschmidt echo). The phenomenon of wave function concentration on the impurity…

The nonlinear transport regime is manifested in the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of the system. An example of such a nonlinear regime is a setup in which current is injected into the sample and the measured voltage drop is…

Long, shallow microchannels embedded in thick soft materials are widely used in microfluidic devices for lab-on-a-chip applications. However, the bulging effect caused by fluid--structure interactions between the internal viscous flow and…

Transport properties of asymmetric molecular structure are studied within the kinetic equation approach, taking into consideration the electron interaction in the self-consistent manner (SCF procedure). The device is made of a molecule…

Using the non-equilibrium Keldysh Green's function formalism, we investigate the effect of defects on the electronic structure and transport properties of two-dimensional topological insulators (TI). We demonstrate how the spatial flow of…

Atomistic simulations using a combination of classical forcefield and Density-Functional-Theory (DFT) show that carbon atoms remain essentially sp2 coordinated in either bent tubes or tubes pushed by an atomically sharp AFM tip. Subsequent…

Nonchiral single wall carbon nanotubes with an "armchair" wrapping are theoretically predicted to be conducting, and high purity samples consisting predominantly of these tubes exhibit metallic behavior with an intrinsic resistivity which…

We present a real-space formulation and implementation of Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory suited to twisted geometries, and apply it to the study of torsional deformations of X (X = C, Si, Ge, Sn) nanotubes. Our formulation is based on…

A time-dependent approach is used to explore inelastic effects during electron transport through few-level systems. We study a tight-binding chain with one and two sites connected to vibrations. This simple but transparent model gives…

Thin layers of topological insulator materials are quasi-two-dimensional systems featuring a complex interplay between quantum confinement and topological band structure. To understand the role of the spatial distribution of carriers in…

We consider a conservative system consisting of an elastic plate interacting with a gas filling a semi-infinite tube. The plate is placed on the bottom of the tube. The dynamics of the gas velocity potential is governed by the linear wave…

We theoretically investigate the influence of defect-induced long-range deformations in carbon nanotubes on their electronic transport properties. To this end we perform numerical ab-initio calculations using a density-functional-based…

Electronic conductance through a single molecule is sensitive towards its structural orientation between two electrodes, owing to the distribution of molecular orbitals and their coupling to the electrode levels, that are governed by…

A general form of the Hamiltonian for electrons confined to a curved one-dimensional (1D) channel with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) linear in momentum is rederived and is applied to a U-shaped channel. Discretizing the derived continuous 1D…

We study the transport properties of interacting electrons in a disordered quantum wire within the framework of the Luttinger liquid model. We demonstrate that the notion of weak localization is applicable to the strongly correlated…
