Using non-equilibrium Green's functions, we derive a formula for the electron current through a lead-molecule-lead nanojunction where the interactions are not restricted to the central region, but are spread throughout the system, including…
Conformal interfaces gluing a pair of two-dimensional conformal field theories enjoy a large degree of universality in terms of the coefficients of reflection and transmission of energy, that describe the scattering of conformal matter at…
Using Green's function equation of motion within Lacroix decoupling scheme, we examine the thermoelectric transport features of a strongly interacting quantum dot coupled between metallic leads. We demonstrate that a qualitative description…
The thermal transport across metal-insulator interface can be characterized by electron-phonon interaction through which an electron lead is coupled to a phonon lead if phonon-phonon coupling at the interface is very weak. We investigate…
Understanding the generation mechanism of the heating flux is essential for the design of hypersonic vehicles. We proposed a novel formula to decompose the heat flux coefficient into the contributions of different terms by integrating the…
Thermal properties of a two-layered composite conductor are modified in case the interface is damaged. The present paper deals with nondestructive evaluation of perturbations of interface thermal conductance due to the presence of defects.…
We develop an effective medium model of thermal conductivity that accounts for both percolation and interface scattering. This model accurately explains the measured increase and decrease of thermal conductivity with loading in composites…
Transport through a one-dimensional wire of interacting electrons connected to semi infinite leads is investigated using a bosonization approach. The dynamic nonlocal conductivity is rigorously expressed in terms of the transmission. For…
In an attempt to understand quantitatively the remarkable discoveries of metal-insulator transitions in two-dimensional systems, we generalize Mott's variable range hopping theory to the situation with strong Coulomb interaction. In our…
We investigate the low-temperature electrical and thermal transport properties in atomically precise metallic heterostructures involving strongly-correlated electron systems. The model of the Mott-insulator/ band-insulator superlattice was…
We consider a diffuse interface model describing a ternary system constituted by a conductive diblock copolymer and a homopolymer acting as solvent. The resulting dynamics is modeled by two Cahn--Hilliard--Oono equations for the copolymer…
In order to extend the Landauer formulation of quantum transport to correlated fermions, we consider a spinless system in which charge carriers interact, connected to two reservoirs by non-interacting one-dimensional leads. We show that the…
Collective diffusion coefficient in a one dimensional lattice gas adsorbate is calculated using variational approach. Particles interact via either a long-range, or a long range electron-gas-mediated (for a metallic substrate), or a…
A toy statistical model which mimics localized-to-itinerant electron transitions is introduced. We consider a system of two types of charge carriers: (1) localized ones, and (2) itinerant ones. There is chemical equilibrium between these…
Results are presented of a full leading-order evaluation of the shear viscosity, flavor diffusion constants, and electrical conductivity in high temperature QCD and QED. The presence of Coulomb logarithms associated with gauge interactions…
In this paper we introduce a method to estimate a pressure dependent thermal conductivity coefficient arising in a heat diffusion model with applications in food technology. To address the known smoothing effect of the direct problem, we…
Integrity and reliability of a national power grid system are essential to society's development and security. Among the power grid components, transmission lines are critical due to exposure and vulnerability to severe external conditions,…
We present generalized Green-Kubo expressions for thermal transport coefficients $\mu$ in non-conservative fluid-type systems, of the generic form, $\mu$ $= \mu_\infty$ $+\int^\infty_0 dt V^{-1} \av{I_\epsilon \exp(t {\cal L}) I}_0$ where…
Consider a three dimensional system which looks like a cross-connected pipe system, i.e. a small sample coupled to a finite number of leads. We investigate the current running through this system, in the linear response regime, when we…
We consider the electron transport properties through fully interacting nanoscale junctions beyond the linear-response regime. We calculate the current flowing through an interacting region connected to two interacting leads, with…
