In this work, the Coulomb scattering lifetimes of electrons in two coupled quantum wires have been studied by calculating the quasiparticle self-energy within a multisubband model of quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) electron system. We consider…
We investigate the decoherence of the electron wavepacket in purely ballistic one-dimensional systems described through the Luttinger liquid (LL). At a finite temperature $T$ and long times $t$, we show that the electron Green's function…
Purpose: Measuring the ortho-positronium (oPs) lifetime in human tissue bears the potential of adding clinically relevant information about the tissue microenvironment to conventional positron emission tomography (PET). Through phantom…
Crystalline solids are generally known as excellent heat conductors, amorphous materials or glasses as thermal insulators. It has thus come as a surprise that certain crystal structures defy this paradigm. A prominent example are type-I…
Neutrons and x-rays are coherent probes, and their coherent properties are used in scattering experiments. Only coherent scattering probes can elucidate collective molecular motions. While phonons in crystals were studied for half a century…
We report measurements of the phonon density of states as measured with inelastic x-ray scattering in SmFeAsO$_{1-x}$F$_y$ powders. An unexpected strong renormalization of phonon branches around 23 meV is observed as fluorine is substituted…
Green's function zeros, which can emerge only if correlation is strong, have been for long overlooked and believed to be devoid of any physical meaning, unlike Green's function poles. Here, we prove that Green's function zeros instead…
Phonon carrier interactions can have significant impact on device performance. They can be probed by measuring the phonon lifetime, which reflects the interaction strength of a phonon with other quasi-particles in particular charge carriers…
In this work, we provide a detailed analysis of phosphorene performance as n-type and p-type active materials. The study is based on first principles calculation of phosphorene electronic structure, and resulting electron and hole…
We investigate the effects of alternating voltage on nonequilibrium quantum systems with localised phonon modes. Nonequilibrium Green's functions are utilised, with electron-phonon coupling being considered with the $GD$ approximation…
This study presents the first-principles phonon calculations to understand the experimental thermal expansion ($\alpha(T)$) and lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_{L}$) of CoSi at high temperature region. Phonon dispersion is computed…
Understanding the mechanisms of thermal conduction in graphene is a long-lasting research topic, due to its high thermal conductivity. Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation (PBTE) based studies have revealed many unique phonon transport…
Linear theory for phonon scattering by discrete breathers in the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation using the transfer matrix approach is presented. Transmission and reflection coefficients are obtained as a function of the wave…
With the aim of studying magnetic effects in time-distance helioseismology, we use the first-order Born approximation to compute the scattering of acoustic plane waves by a magnetic cylinder embedded in a uniform medium. We show, by…
Fluorite oxides are attractive ionic compounds for a range of applications with critical thermal management requirements. In view of recent reports alluding to anisotropic thermal conductivity in this face-centered cubic crystalline…
Because of high surface-to-volume ratio, the most prominent size effect limiting thermal transport originates from phonon-surface scattering in nanostructures. Herein we propose the mechanism of phonon scattering by the bond strength…
We consider hot carrier inelastic scattering due to electron--electron interactions in graphene, as functions of carrier energy and density. We calculate the imaginary part of the zero-temperature quasiparticle self-energy for doped…
Landauer's formula relates the conductance of a quantum wire or interface to transmission probabilities. Total transmission probabilities are frequently calculated using Green function techniques and an expression first derived by Caroli.…
The electron-phonon interaction in monolayer graphene is investigated by using density functional perturbation theory. The results indicate that the electron-phonon interaction strength is of comparable magnitude for all four in-plane…
Resonant electron transport through a mesoscopic region (quantum dot or single molecule) with electron-phonon interaction is considered at finite voltage. In this case the standard Landauer-B\"uttiker approach cannot be applied. Using the…
