Recent discovery of new materials for thermoelectric energy conversion is enabled by efficient prediction of materials' performance from first-principles, without empirically fitted parameters. The novel simplified approach for computing…
We present a simple and efficient approximation to the electron-phonon scattering rate suitable for high-throughput screening of candidate materials for thermoelectric devices, based on electronic transport. The method is applied to…
We show an efficient way to compute the electron-phonon coupling constant, $\lambda$, and the superconducting transition temperature, Tc from first-principles calculations. This approach gives rapid convergence of Tc with respect to the…
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…
A computationally inexpensive k.p-based interpolation scheme is developed that can extend the eigenvalues and momentum matrix elements of a sparsely sampled k-point grid into a densely sampled one. Dense sampling, often required to…
The Landauer formula allows us to describe theoretically the conductance in terms of the transmission function in a mesoscopic system. We propose a general method to evaluate the transmission function in the complex domain for systems…
In this commentary, we clarify that the Landauer formula is not limited to the phonon gas model. It is fundamentally more general and applies to both particle- and wave-based descriptions of phonons, provided the transmission function is…
We investigate the ballistic electron transport in a monolayer graphene with configurational averaged impurities, located between two clean graphene leads. It is shown that the electron transmission are strongly dependent on the…
We derive a fluid-dynamic model for electron transport near a Dirac point in graphene. The derivation is based on the minimum entropy principle, which is exploited in order to close fluid-dynamic equations for quantum mixed states. To this…
The computation of electrical flows is a crucial primitive for many recently proposed optimization algorithms on weighted networks. While typically implemented as a centralized subroutine, the ability to perform this task in a fully…
Phonon transport across a vacuum gap separating intrinsic silicon crystals is predicted via the atomistic Green's function method combined with first-principles calculations of all interatomic force constants. The overlap of electron wave…
We introduce a novel method that enables parameter-efficient transfer and multi-task learning with deep neural networks. The basic approach is to learn a model patch - a small set of parameters - that will specialize to each task, instead…
The problem of electron scattering on the one-dimensional complexes is considered. We propose a novel theoretical approach to solution of the transport problem for a quantum graph. In the frame of the developed approach the solution of the…
We report the inclusion of electron-electron correlation in the calculation of transport properties within an ab initio scheme. A key step is the reformulation of Landauer's approach in terms of an effective transmittance for the…
I describe the lattice determination of the electrical conductivity of the quark gluon plasma. Since this is the first extraction of a transport coefficient with a degree of control over errors, I next use this to make estimates of other…
We report first-principles calculations of electron-phonon coupling in bilayer graphene and the corresponding contribution to carrier scattering. At the phonon $\Gamma$ point, electrons with energies less than 200 meV are scattered…
Utilization of electron transfer methods for description of quantum transport is popular due to simplicity of the formulation and its ability to account for basic physics of electron exchange between system and baths. At the same time,…
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…
The Landauer approach provides a conceptually simple way to calculate the intrinsic thermoelectric (TE) parameters of materials from the ballistic to the diffusive transport regime. This method relies on the calculation of the number of…
We present a new paradigm for understanding optical absorption and hot electron dynamics experiments in graphene. Our analysis pivots on assigning proper importance to phonon assisted indirect processes and bleaching of direct processes. We…
