We present a scattering theory description for the inelastic current noise in the presence of electron-vibration interactions. In this description, we specify elastic and inelastic scattering contributions to the shot noise by examining…

We calculate the non-equilibrium charge transport properties of nanoscale junctions in the steady state and extend the concept of charge susceptibility to the non-equilibrium conditions. We show that the non-equilibrium charge…

We describe how to treat the interaction of travelling electrons with localised vibrational modes in nanojunctions. We present a multichannel scattering technique which can be applied to calculate the transport properties for realistic…

We report a theory for analyzing nonlinear DC transport properties of mesoscopic or nanoscopic normal-superconducting (N-S) systems. Special attention was paid such that our theory satisfies gauge invariance. At the linear transport regime…

This review is devoted to the different techniques that have been developed to compute the phase-coherent transport properties of quantum nanoelectronic systems connected to electrodes. Beside a review of the different algorithms proposed…

We develop a theoretical framework to determine distribution functions in nonequilibrium systems coupled to equilibrium reservoirs, by using the nonequilibrium Green's function technique. As a paradigmatic example, we consider the…

We consider a single electron traveling along a strictly one-dimensional quantum wire interacting with another electron in a quantum ring capacitively coupled to the wire. We develop an exact numerical method for treating the scattering…

We investigate nonlinear transport properties of quantum conductors in response to both electrical and thermal driving forces. Within scattering approach, we determine the nonequilibrium screening potential of a generic mesoscopic system…

In this paper we address the topic of inelastic electron scattering in mesoscopic quantum transport. For systems where only elastic scattering is present, Landauer theory provides an adequate description of transport that relates the…

We consider the scattering matrix approach to quantum electron transport in meso- and nano-conductors. This approach is an alternative to the more conventional kinetic equation and Green's function approaches, and often is more efficient…

We study the nonlinear elastic quantum electronic transport properties of nanoscopic devices using the Nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) method. The Green's function method allows us to expand the $I-V$ characteristics of a given…

We report a variational approach to the nonlinearly screened interaction of charged particles with a many-electron system. This approach has been developed by introducing a modification of the Schwinger variational principle of scattering…

We report a scattering matrix theory for dynamic and nonlinear transport in coherent mesoscopic conductors. In general this theory allows predictions of low frequency linear dynamic conductance, as well as weakly nonlinear DC conductance.…

The influence of molecular vibration on the Seebeck coefficient is studied within a simple model. Results of a scattering theory approach are compared to those of a full self-consistent non-equilibrium Green's function scheme. We show, for…

Transport through semiconductor nanostructures is a quantum-coherent process. This paper focuses on systems in which the electron's dynamics is ballistic and the transport is dominated by the scattering from structure boundaries. Opposite…

Computationally inexpensive approximations describing electron-phonon scattering in molecular-scale conductors are derived from the non-equilibrium Green's function method. The accuracy is demonstrated with a first principles calculation on…
