Using the Boltzmann transport model, we show that, somewhat unintuitively, ballistic transport of electrons in metals is weaker than diffusive transport. This happens because the femtosecond-scale collision rates of the non-thermal…
Understanding the microscopic spatio-temporal dynamics of nonequilibrium charge carriers in heterosystems promises optimization of process and device design towards desired energy transfer. Hot electron transport is governed by scattering…
We investigate the motion of charged particles in a turbulent electrostatic potential using guiding-center theory. By increasing the Larmor radius, the dynamics exhibit close-to-ballistic transport properties. The transition from diffusive…
We use ultrafast x-ray diffraction to quantify the transport of energy in laser-excited nanoscale Au/Ni bilayers. Electron transport and efficient electron-phonon coupling in Ni convert the laser-deposited energy in the conduction electrons…
The transition from the ballistic electron transport to the diffuse one is experimentally observed in the study of the magnetic phase transition in Ni nanocontacts with different sizes. It is shown that the voltage $U_C$ needed for Joule…
Ultrafast demagnetization induced by femtosecond laser pulses in thin metallic layers is caused by the outflow of spin-polarized hot electron currents describable by the superdiffusive transport model. These laser-generated spin currents…
We examine 2D electron transport through a long narrow channel driven by an external electric field in presence of diffusive boundary scattering. At zero temperature, we derive an analytical solution of the transition from ballistic to…
In condensed matter, scattering processes determine the transport of charge carriers. In case of heterostructures, interfaces determine many dynamic properties like charge transfer and transport and spin current dynamics. Here we discuss…
We present a detailed microscopic study of quasi-ballistic transport in deep submicron semiconductor channels. In particular, we study the crossover between the diffusive and ballistic regimes of transport and identify signatures in the…
Conducting materials typically exhibit either diffusive or ballistic charge transport. However, when electron-electron interactions dominate, a hydrodynamic regime with viscous charge flow emerges (1-13). More stringent conditions…
The guiding and transport of energy, for example of electromagnetic waves underpins many technologies that have shaped modern society, ranging from long distance optical fibre telecommunications to on-chip optical processors. Traditionally,…
Metals in one spatial dimension are described at the lowest energy scales by the Luttinger liquid theory. It is well understood that this free theory, and even interacting integrable models, can support ballistic transport of conserved…
The transport of the energy contained in suprathermal electrons in solar flares plays a key role in our understanding of many aspects of flare physics, from the spatial distributions of hard X-ray emission and energy deposition in the…
Identifying the sources of the highest energy cosmic rays requires understanding how they are deflected by the stochastic, spatially intermittent intergalactic magnetic field. Here we report measurements of energetic charged-particle…
We investigate ballistic vibrational energy transport through optical phonon band in oligomeric chains in the presence of decoherence. An exact solution is obtained for the excitation density in the space-time representation in the…
The detection of a PeV high-energy neutrino of astrophysical origin, observed by the IceCube Collaboration and correlated with a 3$\sigma$ significance with Fermi measurements to the gamma-ray blazar TXS 0506+056, further stimulated the…
A recently developed Shastry's formalism for energy transport is used to analyze the temporal and spatial behaviors of the energy and heat transport in metals under delta function excitation at the surface. Comparison with Cattaneo's model…
Understanding energy transport in semiconductors is critical for design of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Semiconductor material properties such as charge carrier mobility or diffusion length are commonly measured in bulk crystals…
Understanding energy dissipation and transport in nanoscale structures is of great importance for the design of energy-efficient circuits and energy-conversion systems. This is also a rich domain for fundamental discoveries at the…
A considerable fraction of the energy in a solar flare is released as suprathermal electrons; such electrons play a major role in energy deposition in the ambient atmosphere and hence the atmospheric response to flare heating. Historically…
