We analyse recently measured nonlinear photoemission spectra from Ag surfaces that reveal resonances whose energies do not scale with the applied photon energy but stay pinned to multiples of bulk plasmon energy $\hbar\omega_p$ above the…
Thermoelectric properties of a two-level molecule attached to the metallic electrodes are analyzed using the equation of motion technique within the Green function formalism. Results show that the electrical conductance is strongly…
We investigate the influence of electron-phonon interactions on the DC-conductance $\Gamma $ of a quantum wire in the limit of one occupied subband. At zero temperature, a Tomonaga-Luttinger-like renormalization of $\Gamma $ to a value…
Phonon size effects induce ballistic transport in nanomaterials, challenging Fourier's law. Nondiffusive heat transport is captured by the Peierls-Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), commonly solved under the relaxation time approximation…
Nonequilibrium multi-carrier thermal transport is essential for both scientific research and technological applications in electronic, spintronic, and energy conversion devices. This article reviews the fundamentals of phonon, electron,…
Wavepacket transport across a nonlinear region is studied numerically at zero and finite temperatures. In contrary to the zero temperature case which demonstrates ballistic transport, finite temperature lattice vibrations suppresses the…
Transport in metals with strongly anisotropic single-particle spectrum is studied. Coherent band transport in all directions, described by the standard Boltzmann equation, is shown to withstand both elastic and inelastic scattering as long…
Phonon boundary scattering is typically treated using the Fuchs-Sondheimer theory, which assumes that phonons are thermalized to the local temperature at the boundary. However, whether such a thermalization process actually occurs and its…
Plasmonic phenomena are exhibited in light-matter interaction involving materials whose real parts of permittivity functions attain negative values at operating wavelengths. However, such materials usually suffer from dissipative losses,…
The new regime of low-temperature heat transfer in suspended nanowires is predicted. It takes place when (i) only ``acoustic'' phonon modes of the wire are thermally populated and (ii) phonons are subject to the effective elastic…
We consider transport through a vibrating molecular quantum dot contacted to macroscopic leads acting as charge reservoirs. In the equilibrium and nonequilibrium regime, we study the formation of a polaron-like transient state at the…
We study theoretically the current-voltage characteristics, shot noise, and full counting statistics of a quantum wire double barrier structure. We model each wire segment by a spinless Luttinger liquid. Within the sequential tunneling…
We study one-electron tunneling through atomic-scale one-dimensional wires in the presence of coherent electron-phonon (e-ph) coupling. We use a full quantum model for the e-ph interaction within the wire with open boundary conditions. We…
We analyze electron transport through a quantum shuttle for the applied voltage below the instability threshold. We obtain current-voltage characteristics of this system and show that at low temperature they exhibit pronounced steps. The…
Classical transport theory is used to study the response of a non-Abelian plasma at zero temperature and high chemical potential to weak color electromagnetic fields. In this article the parallelism between the transport phenomena occurring…
We numerically investigate the transport properties of disordered interacting electrons in three dimensions in the metallic as well as in the insulating phases. The disordered many-particle problem is modeled by the quantum Coulomb glass…
In this study, we use the transient thermal grating optical technique \textemdash a non-contact, laser-based thermal metrology technique with intrinsically high accuracy \textemdash to investigate room-temperature phonon-mediated thermal…
We propose a method to engineer the phonon thermal transport properties of low dimensional systems. The method relies on introducing a predetermined combination of molecular adsorbates, which give rise to antiresonances at frequencies…
We study a gated quantum wire contacted to source and drain electrodes in the Fabry-Perot regime. The wire is also coupled to a third terminal (tip), and we allow for an asymmetry of the tip tunneling amplitudes of right and left moving…
We investigate the low-energy collective charge excitations (plasmons, holons) in metallic atomic wires deposited on semiconducting substrates. These systems are described by two-dimensional correlated models representing strongly…
