Two-dimensional topological insulators feature helical edge states that are remarkably resistant to disorder, making them appeal for energy-efficient electronics and quantum information technologies. In this study, we develop a…
Recent work has shown that it is possible to circumvent the calculation of the spectral density and directly calculate the coefficients of the discretized influence functionals using data from classical trajectory simulations. However, the…
Thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) is believed to be a potentially important process in understanding some properties of the magnetically closed solar corona. Through one-dimensional hydrodynamic models, this paper addresses the importance of…
A shell-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate released from its confinement expands radially both outwards and inwards, displaying a self-interference pattern characterized by a density peak surrounded by a halo. Here we analyze how an external…
We present a comprehensive study shedding light on how thermal fluctuations affect correlations in a Bose gas with contact repulsive interactions in one spatial dimension. The pair correlation function, the static structure factor, and the…
We investigate the intrinsic anomalous thermal Hall effect in d-wave altermagnets, where a transverse heat current is generated by a longitudinal temperature gradient in the absence of a magnetic field, with the leading response…
Electrical current rectification is an interesting electronic feature, popularly known as a diode. Achieving a high rectification ratio in a molecular junction has been a long-standing goal in molecular electronics. The present work…

In this paper we investigate warm electron injection in a double gate SONOS memory by means of 2D full-band Monte Carlo simulations of the Boltzmann Transport Equation (BTE). Electrons are accelerated in the channel by a drain-to-source…
Thermal response of a protein (CoVE) conformation is studied by a coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulation. Three distinct segments, the N-terminal, Trans-membrane, and C-terminal are verified from its specific contact profile. The radius of…
Assuming that 1-dimensional self-assembly nanotubes can be represented as a 1-dimensional cavity-type black-body radiator of length L and radius r in thermal equilibrium at a temperature T, analytical expressions for the thermal radiative…
