A code for calculating the semi-classical thermoelectric and electronic transport properties is described. It uses the Landauer transport theory, which is equivalent to the Boltzmann theory, by introducing a central quantity-the…
The Landauer approach to diffusive transport is mathematically related to the solution of the Boltzmann transport equation, and expressions for the thermoelectric parameters in both formalisms are presented. Quantum mechanical and…
The role of dimensionality on the electronic performance of thermoelectric devices is clarified using the Landauer formalism, which shows that the thermoelectric coefficients are related to the transmission, T(E), and how the conducing…
Research on thermoelectrical energy conversion, the reuse of waste heat produced by some mechanical or chemical processes to generate electricity, has recently gained some momentum. The calculation of the electronic parameters entering the…
In this paper, a fast synthetic iterative scheme is developed to accelerate convergence for the implicit DOM based on the stationary phonon BTE. The key innovative point of the present scheme is the introduction of the macroscopic synthetic…
Realistic thermoelectric modeling and simulation tools are needed to explain the experiments and for device design. In this paper, we present a simple computational technique to make use of rigorous band structure calculations in…
Recent electronic transport experiments using metallic contacts attached to proteins identified some 'stylized facts' which contradict conventional wisdom that increasing either the spatial distance between the electrodes or the temperature…
Using the tools of random matrix theory we develop a statistical analysis of the transport properties of thermoelectric low-dimensional systems made of two electron reservoirs set at different temperatures and chemical potentials, and…
We initiate the systematic study of the energy complexity of algorithms (in addition to time and space complexity) based on Landauer's Principle in physics, which gives a lower bound on the amount of energy a system must dissipate if it…
Efficient ab initio computational methods for the calculation of thermoelectric transport properties of materials are of great avail for energy harvesting technologies. The BoltzTraP code has been largely used to efficiently calculate…
We propose a divide-and-conquer algorithm to find recursively the Scattering matrix of general tight-binding structures. The Scattering matrix allows a direct calculation of transport properties in mesoscopic systems by using the Landauer…
The principal paradigm for determining the thermoelectric properties of materials is based on the Boltzmann transport equations (BTEs) or Landauer equivalent. These equations depend on the electron and phonon density of states (e-DOS and…
We utilize the domain integral equation formulation to simulate two-dimensional transverse electric scattering in a homogeneous medium and a summation of modulated Gaussian functions to approximate the dual Gabor window. Then we apply Ewald…
The conventional understanding that a bandstructure that produces a Dirac delta function transport distribution (or transmission in the Landauer framework) maximizes the thermoelectric figure of merit, ZT, is revisited. Thermoelectric (TE)…
The Landauer transport formulation is generalized to the case of a dynamic scatterer with an arbitrary energy level structure, weakly coupled to a long ideal noninteracting wire. The two-terminal linear conductance of the device is…
Fast and accurate predictions of the spatiotemporal distributions of temperature are crucial to the multi-scale thermal management and safe operation of microelectronic devices. To realize it, an efficient semi-implicit Lax-Wendroff kinetic…
Scattering by an isolated defect embedded in a dielectric medium of two dimensional periodicity is of interest in many sub-fields of electrodynamics. Present approaches to compute this scattering rely either on the Born approximation and…
The Landauer's principle, a cornerstone of information thermodynamics, provides a fundamental lower bound on the energetic cost of information erasure in terms of the information content change. However, its traditional formulation is…
We present a self-contained description of the wave-function matching (WFM) method to calculate electronic quantum transport properties of nanostructures using the Landauer-B\"uttiker approach. The method is based on a partition of the…
In this paper, we investigate tensor based nonintrusive reduced-order models (ROMs) for parametric cross-diffusion equations. The full-order model (FOM) consists of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in matrix or tensor form resulting…
