Understanding transport processes in complex nanoscale systems, like ionic conductivities in nanofluidic devices or heat conduction in low dimensional solids, poses the problem of examining fluctuations of currents within nonequilibrium…
This paper studies thermal transport in nanoporous silicon with a significant specific surface area. First, the equilibrium molecular dynamics approach was used to obtain the dependence of thermal conductivity on a specific surface area.…
The effective transport properties of heterogeneous nanoscale materials and structures are affected by several geometrical and physical factors. Among them the presence of imperfect interfaces plays a central role being often at the origin…
We review recent developments in nonlinear quantum transport through nanostructures and mesoscopic systems driven by thermal gradients or in combination with voltage biases. Low-dimensional conductors are excellent platforms to analyze both…
Several model fluids in contact with planar, spherical, and cylindrical walls are investigated for small number densities within density functional theory. The dependence of the solid-fluid interfacial tension on the curvature of spherical…
We demonstrate photonic control of radiative heat transport in nanoscale networks through phase-controlled interference between elastic and inelastic Floquet scattering channels induced by temporal permittivity modulation. Relative…
The formalism for a linear-response many-body treatment of the electronic contributions to thermal transport is developed for multilayered nanostructures. By properly determining the local heat-current operator, it is possible to show that…
Thermal transport is a fundamental mechanism of energy transfer process quite distinct from wave propagation phenomena. It can be manipulated well beyond the possibilities offered by natural materials with a new generation of artificial…
Features of thermal transport in multilayered porous silicon nanostructures are considered. Such nanostructures were fabricated by electrochemical etching of monocrystalline Si substrates by applying periodically changed current density.…
Based on a simple model, we theoretically show that asymmetric transportation is possible in nanoscale systems experiencing thermal noise without the presence of external fluctuations. The key to this theoretical advance is that the…
In this paper, we explore the effect of a finite surface charge mobility on the interfacial transport: conductance, streaming currents, electro- and diffusio-osmotic flows. We first show that the surface charge mobility modifies the…

Heat transport in nanoscale systems is both hard to measure microscopically, and hard to interpret. Ballistic and diffusive heat flow coexist, adding confusion. This paper looks at a very simple case: a nanoscale crystal repeated…
This work presents a general thermodynamic approach to describe particle diffusion on a lattice, a model used to study transport processes in solids and on surfaces. By treating each lattice site as an open thermodynamic system, the effects…
We develop a theory of thermal transport of weakly interacting electrons in quantum wires. Unlike higher-dimensional systems, a one-dimensional electron gas requires three-particle collisions for energy relaxation. The fastest relaxation is…
An intrinsic feature of nearly all internal interfaces in crystalline systems (homo- and hetero-phase) is the presence of disconnections (topological line defects constrained to the interface that have both step and dislocation character).…
Polymers are usually considered as thermal insulators and their applications are limited by their low thermal conductivity. However, recent studies showed that certain polymers have surprisingly high thermal conductivity, some of which are…
