We present a detailed treatment of the nonequilibrium Green's function method for thermal transport due to atomic vibrations in nanostructures. Some of the key equations, such as self-energy and conductance with nonlinear effect, are…
An analog of the Meir-Wingreen formula for the steady-state heat current through a model molecular junction is derived. The expression relates the heat current to correlation functions that involve operators only acting on the degrees of…
We present a unified framework to simulate heat and mass transport in systems of particles. The proposed framework is based on kinematic mean field theory and uses a phenomenological master equation to compute effective transport rates…
Heating and heat conduction in molecular junctions are considered within a general NEGF formalism. We obtain a unified description of heating in current carrying molecular junctions as well as the electron and phonon contributions to the…
Conventional transport theory is not really applicable to non-equilibrium systems which exhibit strong quantum effects. We present two different approaches to overcome this problem. Firstly we point out how transport equations may be…
An economic modeling approach for cavity quantum electrodynamics is provided by mean-field dynamics, wherein the optical field is described classically while a self-consistent interaction with quantum emitters is incorporated through the…
The traditional approach to studying near-field thermal transfer is based on fluctuational electrodynamics. However, this approach may not be suitable for nonequilibrium states due to dynamic drivings. In our work, we introduce a…
The dynamical mean-field concept of approximating an unsolvable many-body problem in terms of the solution of an auxiliary quantum impurity problem, introduced to study bulk materials with a continuous energy spectrum, is here extended to…
A framework for estimating heating and expected temperature rise in current carrying molecular junctions is described. Our approach is based on applying the Redfield approximation to a tight binding model for the molecular bridge…
Based on classical transport theory, we present a general set of covariant equations describing the dynamics of mean fields and their statistical fluctuations in a non-Abelian plasma in or out-of-equilibrium. A procedure to obtain the…
The driven transport of plastic systems in various disordered backgrounds is studied within mean field theory. Plasticity is modeled using non-convex interparticle potentials that allow for phase slips. This theory most naturally describes…
We investigate heat transport in a spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain, coupled locally to independent thermal baths of different temperature. The analysis is carried out within the framework of the theory of open systems by means of appropriate…
We show that when a molecular junction is under an external bias, its properties can not be uniquely determined by the total electron density in the same manner as the density functional theory (DFT) for ground state (GS) properties. In…
Understanding phononic heat transport processes in molecular junctions is a central issue in the developing field of nanoscale heat conduction and manipulation. Here we present a Stochastic Nonequlibrium Molecular Dynamics simulation…
We discuss a non-equilibrium dynamical mean-field framework for simulating inhomogeneous Hubbard models with local disorders. Our approach treats electron interactions and disorders on equal footing, by considering only local dynamical…
A momentum-dependent mean field potential, suitable for application in the transport-model description of nucleus-nucleus collisions, is derived in a microscopic way. The derivation is based upon the Bonn meson-exchange model for the…
Transport coefficients are obtained by incorporating a gauge principle into thermo field dynamics of inhomogeneous systems. In contrast to previous derivations, neither imaginary time arguments nor perturbation theory in powers of a…
Time-dependent driving of quantum systems has emerged as a powerful tool to engineer exotic phases far from thermal equilibrium, but in the presence of many-body interactions it also leads to runaway heating, so that generic systems are…
Quantum simulation methods based on density-functional theory are currently deemed unfit to cope with atomic heat transport within the Green-Kubo formalism, because quantum-mechanical energy densities and currents are inherently ill-defined…
A mean-field model to describe electron transfer processes in ion-molecule collisions at the $\hbar =0$ level is presented and applied to collisions involving water and ammonia molecules. Multicenter model potentials account for the…
