In a molecular junction (MJ) which connects two electrical leads, electron-phonon coupling has significant effects on the transport properties. However, the MJ is not thermally isolated and the phonons can be coupled to another thermal…

Charge and heat transfer through a nanoscale conductor is not only determined by the transmission properties of the electrons, but can also be strongly impacted by coupling to other degrees of freedom in the environment of the conductor.…
