A translation invariant system of interacting quantum anharmonic oscillators indexed by the elements of a simple cubic lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is considered. The anharmonic potential is of general type, which in particular means that it…
We investigate the heat conduction properties of molecular junctions comprising anharmonic interactions. We find that nonlinear interactions can lead to novel phenomena: it negative differential thermal conductance and heat rectification.…
Positional polymorphism in solids refers to locally disordered unit cells that, on average, reproduce the high-symmetry structures observed in diffraction experiments. Standard theories of electron-phonon interactions fail to describe the…
Hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskites have shown remarkable optoelectronic properties (1-3), believed to originate from correlated motion of charge carriers and the polar lattice forming large polarons (4-7). Few experimental…
We apply path integrals to study nonequilibrium work theorems in the context of Brownian dynamics, deriving in particular the equations of motion governing the most typical and most dominant trajectories. For the analytically soluble cases…
Unexpected transport behavior can arise due to anisotropic single-particle scattering in multiband systems. Specifically, we show within a semiclassical Boltzmann approach beyond the relaxation-time approximation that anisotropic scattering…
We investigate the energy transport in a one-dimensional lattice of oscillators with a harmonic nearest neighbor coupling and a harmonic plus quartic on-site potential. As numerically observed for particular coupling parameters before, and…
We investigate theoretically the quantum oscillator-like states recently observed experimentally in polariton condensates (Nat. Phys. 8, 190 (2012)). We consider a complex Gross-Pitaevskii type model which includes the effects of…
We investigate the nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of mesoscopic conductors and the current generated through rectification of an alternating external bias. To leading order in applied voltages both the nonlinear and the rectified…
The emergence of macroscopic order and patterns is a central paradigm in systems of (self-)propelled agents, and a key component in the structuring of many biological systems.The relationships between the ordering process and the underlying…
We apply dynamical mean field theory to study a prototypical model that describes charge ordering in the presence of both electron-lattice interactions and intersite electrostatic repulsion between electrons. We calculate the optical and…
The spectrum of an exactly solvable non-relativistic system of a charged particle interacting with a quantized electromagnetic mode is studied with various polarizations. Quasiparticle dispersion relations can be derived from the…
Including the effect of lattice anharmonicity on electron-phonon interactions has recently garnered attention due to its role as a necessary and significant component in explaining various phenomena, including superconductivity, optical…
The modular spaces are a family of polarizations of the Hilbert space that are based on Aharonov's modular variables and carry a rich geometric structure. We construct here, step by step, a Feynman path integral for the quantum harmonic…
A lattice-based model exhibits an unusual conductivity when it is subjected to both a static magnetic field and electromagnetic radiation. This conductivity anomaly may explain some aspects of the recently observed "zero-resistance states".…
We present a novel approach to electron-lattice interaction beyond the linear-coupling regime. Based on the solution of a Holstein-Peierls-type model, we derive explicit analytical expressions for the eigenvalue spectrum of the Hamiltonian,…
The symmetry properties of transport beyond the linear regime in chaotic quantum dots are investigated experimentally. A component of differential conductance that is antisymmetric in both applied source-drain bias V and magnetic field B,…
Theoretical studies on charge ordering phenomena in quarter-filled molecular (organic) conductors are reviewed. Extended Hubbard models including not only the on-site but also the inter-site Coulomb repulsion are constructed in a…
We study collective dynamics of interacting centers of exciton-polariton condensation in presence of spatial inhomogeneity, as modeled by diatomic active oscillator lattices. The mode formalism is developed and employed to derive existence…
In this work we investigate charge transport in one-dimensional (1D) insulators via semi-classical and perturbative renormalization group (RG) methods. We consider the problem of electron-electron, electron-phonon and electron-two-level…
