We consider transport through a vibrating molecular quantum dot contacted to macroscopic leads acting as charge reservoirs. In the equilibrium and nonequilibrium regime, we study the formation of a polaron-like transient state at the…
To interpret recent experimental observations of the phononless hopping conduction, we suggest a novel transport mechanism according to which the current-carrying single electrons move via quantum resonant tunneling between localized states…
A dynamical method for inelastic transport simulations in nanostructures is compared with a steady-state method based on non-equilibrium Green's functions. A simplified form of the dynamical method produces, in the steady state in the…
A time-dependent inelastic electron transport theory for strong electron-phonon interaction is established via the equations of motion method combined with the small polaron transformation. In this work, the dissipation via electron-phonon…
Mesoscopic numerical simulation has become an important tool in thermal management and energy harvesting at the micro/nano scale, where the Fourier's law failed. However, it is not easy to efficiently solve the phonon Boltzmann transport…
A canonical quantization procedure is applied to the interaction of elastic waves --phonons-- with infinitely long dislocations that can oscillate about an equilibrium, straight line, configuration. The interaction is implemented through…
Phonon heat transport in mesoscopic systems is investigated using methods analogous to the Landauer description of electrical conductance. A "universal heat conductance" expression that depends on the properties of the conducting pathway…
This paper introduces a novel Soft Acoustic Curvature (SAC) sensor. SAC incorporates integrated audio components and features an acoustic channel within a flexible structure. A reference acoustic wave, generated by a speaker at one end of…
It is well known that at zero temperature and in the absence of electron-phonon coupling, the presence of an electric field leads to localization of carriers residing in a single band of finite bandwidth. We implement the Self-Consistent…
We develop a computational framework, based on the Boltzmann transport equation, with the ability to compute the thermal transport in nanostructured materials of any geometry using as the only input the bulk thermal conductivity…
We discuss the physics of sound propagation and charge diffusion in a plasma with non-vanishing charge density. Our analysis culminates the program initiated in arXiv:2108.03244 to construct an open effective field theory of low-lying modes…
Quantum transport can be simulated with ultracold atoms by employing spin superpositions of fermions interacting with spin-dependent potentials. Here we first extend this scheme to an arbitrary number of spin components so as to allow…
The interplay of noise and quantum coherence in transport gives rise to rich dynamics relevant for a variety of systems. In this work, we put forward a proposal for an experiment testing noise-induced transport in the vibrational modes of a…
The natural transition from the radiative regime to the conductive regime of heat transfer between two identical isotropic dielectric solid materials, is questioned by investigating the possibility of induced phonon transfer in vacuum. We…
The phonon spectrum of the high-pressure simple cubic phase of calcium, in the harmonic approx- imation, shows imaginary branches that make it mechanically unstable. In this letter, the phonon spectrum is recalculated using…
API Phonons is a Python software package to predict the transport dynamics of heat-carrying phonons. Using the powerful syntax of Python, this package provides modules and functions interfacing between different packages for atomistic…
The paper provides a tutorial to the conceptual layout of a self-consistently coupled Particle-In-Cell/Test-Particle model for the kinetic simulation of sputtering transport in capacitively coupled plasmas at low gas pressures. It explains…
The mobility of carriers, as limited by their scattering with phonons, can now routinely be obtained from first-principles electron-phonon coupling calculations. However, so far, most computations have relied on some form of simplification…
We apply the compressive sensing lattice dynamics (CSLD) method to calculate phonon dispersion for crystalline solids. While existing methods such as frozen phonon, small displacement, and linear response are routinely applied for phonon…
Frequency combs (FCs) -- spectra containing equidistant coherent peaks -- have enabled researchers and engineers to measure the frequencies of complex signals with high precision thereby revolutionising the areas of sensing, metrology and…
