Theoretical foundations of electron transport in mesoscopic systems, based on Landauer theory, Master equations or Onsager linear thermodynamics, are revisited to show that the noniteracting electrons model is insufficient to describe…

The Landauer transport formulation is generalized to the case of a dynamic scatterer with an arbitrary energy level structure, weakly coupled to a long ideal noninteracting wire. The two-terminal linear conductance of the device is…

We give a method of describing thermodynamical transport phenomena, based on a quantum scattering theoretical approach. We consider a quantum system of particles connected to thermodynamical reservoirs by leads. The effects of the…

The Landauer formula for dissipationless conductance lies at the heart of modern electronic transport, yet it remains without a clear microscopic basis. We analyze the Landauer formula microscopically, and give a straightforward quantum…

We present a quaternion-inspired formalism specifically developed to evaluate the electric current that traverses a single molecule subjected to an externally applied voltage. The molecule of interest is covalently connected to two small…

Schr\"odinger equation with given, {\it a priori} known current is formulated. A non-zero current density is maintained in the quantum system via a subsidiary condition imposed by vector, local Lagrange multiplier. Constrained minimization…

We present a quaternion inspired formalism specifically developed to evaluate the intensity of the electrical current that traverses a single molecule connected to two semi-infinite electrodes as the applied external bias is varied. The…

We investigate finite temperature corrections to the Landauer formula due to electron-electron interaction within the quantum point contact. When the Fermi level is close to the barrier height, the interaction is strongly enhanced due to…

Electron transport is theoretically investigated in a molecular device made of anthracene molecule attached to the electrodes by thiol end groups in two different configurations (para and meta, respectively). Molecular system is described…

Results are presented for the quench dynamics of a clean and interacting electron system, where the quench involves varying the strength of the attractive interaction along arbitrary quench trajectories. The initial state before the quench…

A pedagogical introduction to matrix Green's function, focusing on its application to steady state transport through discrete-level quantum systems. Topics covered in the notes: 1. Retarded Green's function, spectral function and density of…

We derive a fluid-dynamic model for electron transport near a Dirac point in graphene. The derivation is based on the minimum entropy principle, which is exploited in order to close fluid-dynamic equations for quantum mixed states. To this…

We generalize the Landauer formula to describe the dissipative electron transport through a superconducting point contact. The finite-temperature, linear-in-bias, dissipative DC conductance is expressed in terms of the phase- and…

A systematic method of calculating the dynamical conductivity tensor in a general multiband electronic model with strong boson-mediated electron-electron interactions is described. The theory is based on the exact semiclassical expression…

We have derived a variational principle that defines the nonequilibrium steady-state transport across a correlated impurity mimicking, e.g., a quantum dot coupled to biased leads. This variational principle has been specialized to a…

The Landauer expression for computing current-voltage characteristics in nanoscale devices is efficient and widely applicable but not suited to transient phenomena and time dependent currents because it assumes that the charge carrier…

Recent experiments have probed quantum dots through transport measurements in the regime where they are described by a two lead Anderson model. In this paper we develop a new method to analytically compute for the first time the…

We develop a new approach to electron transport in mesoscopic systems by using a particular single-particle basis. Although this basis generates redundant many-particle amplitudes, it greatly simplifies the treatment. By using our method…

Electron transport through nanodevices of atoms in a single-layer rectangular arrangement with free (open) boundary conditions parallel to the direction of the current flow is studied within the single-band tight binding model. The Landauer…

We introduce a simple model for the quantum transport of Fermi particles between two contacts connected by a lead. It generalizes the Landauer formalizm by explicitly taken into account the relaxation processes in the contacts. We calculate…
