We calculate the linear response thermopower S of a quantum point contact using the Landauer formula and therefore assume non-interacting electrons. The purpose of the paper, is to compare analytically and numerically the linear thermopower…
Electron-ion interactions play a central role for the energy relaxation processes and ultra-fast structure dynamics in laser-heated matter. The accurate prediction of the electron-ion energy exchange in a transient excited two-temperature…
We derive a formula for the electric polarization of interacting insulators, expressed in terms of the full Green's and vertex functions. We exemplify this method in the half-filled ionic Hubbard model treated within dynamical mean field…
We show that the thermodynamic dislocation theory (TDT) predicts a scaling relation between stresses, strain rates, and temperatures for steady-state deformations of crystalline solids, and that this relation is accurately obeyed by a wide…
Thermodynamics of magnetic materials is discussed in practical, lab-oriented terms. In the common experimental configuration in which the external magnetic field comes from a solenoidal coil connected to a power supply, magnetic work is…
This review is a simplified summary of the thermodynamic dislocation theory, with special emphasis on the role of an effective temperature. Materials scientists, for decades, have asserted that statistical thermodynamics is not applicable…
We present comparative theoretical investigation of thermoelectric power and Hall effect in the Hubbard model for correlated metal and Mott insulator (considered as prototype cuprate superconductor) for different concentrations of current…
We consider finite temperature dynamical correlation functions in the interacting delta-function Bose gas. In the low-temperature limit the asymptotic behaviour of correlation functions can be determined from conformal field theory. In the…
We studied the phase diagram of Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ by means of heat capacity and magnetocaloric effect measurements at temperatures as low as 0.06 K and fields up to 12 T. We confirm the presence of a new quantum critical point at 7.5 T…
A quantum system and a thermal bath can reach thermal equilibrium through an interaction, whereupon the system acquires the same temperature as the bath. But how does a delocalised quantum system thermalise with a bath whose local…
In a recent article, Baranowski et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 113, 204904 (2013)] proposed a model that allegedly facilitates optimization of thermoelectric generators operation as these latter are in contact with hot and cold temperature baths…
A number of recent experiments report the low-temperature thermopower $\alpha$ and specific heat coefficients $\gamma=C_V/T$ of strongly correlated electron systems. Describing the charge and heat transport in a thermoelectric by transport…
Probes that measure the local thermal properties of systems out of equilibrium are emerging as new tools in the study of nanoscale systems. One can then measure the temperature of a probe that is weakly coupled to a bias-driven system. By…
We study the nonequilibrium steady state of a Mott insulator coupled to a thermostat and driven by a constant electric field, starting from weak fields, until the dielectric breakdown, and beyond. We find that the conventional Zener picture…
We review the basic ideas of the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) and some of the insights into the electronic structure of strongly correlated electrons obtained by this method in the context of model Hamiltonians. We then discuss the…
Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is a non-perturbative technique for the investigation of correlated electron systems. Its combination with the local density approximation (LDA) has recently led to a material-specific computational scheme…
Thermophoresis is a transport phenomenon induced by a temperature gradient. Very small objects dispersed in a fluid medium and in a temperature gradient present a non homogeneous steady density. Analysing this phenomenon within the…
The low-temperature normal-state specific heat and resistivity curves of various nonmagnetic intermetallic compounds manifest an anomalous thermal evolution. Such an anomaly is exhibited as a break in the slope of the linearized C/T versus…
The statistical-thermodynamic dislocation theory developed in previous papers is used here in an analysis of high-temperature deformation of aluminum and steel. Using physics-based parameters that we expect theoretically to be independent…
Thermoelectric energy conversion is perhaps the most promising of the potential applications of molecular electronics. Ultimately, it is desirable for this technology to operate at around room temperature, and it is therefore important to…
