An interplay between charge discreteness, coherent scattering and Coulomb interaction yields nontrivial effects in quantum transport. We derive a real time effective action and an equivalent quantum Langevin equation for an arbitrary…
Phase transitions in 1/4-filled quasi-one-dimensional molecular conductors are studied theoretically on the basis of extended Hubbard chains including electron-lattice interactions coupled by interchain Coulomb repulsion. We apply the…
In this Letter, we consider the adiabatic charge transport through a normal mesoscopic sample sandwiched by superconductors without modulation of local chemical potentials. The deformation of coherent quasiparticles in the normal metal in…
We model the effect of phase-breaking collisions on the coherent electron transport in a disordered one-dimensional single-channel wire. In our model the phase-breaking collisions break the wire into segments, where each segment is an…
This work investigates the quantum transport in a narrow constriction acted upon by a finite-range transversely polarized time-dependent electric field. A generalized scattering-matrix method is developed that has incorporated a…
The behavior of the conductivity and the density of states, as well as the phase relaxation time, of disordered itinerant electrons across a quantum ferromagnetic transition is discussed. It is shown that critical fluctuations lead to…
We study the transport properties of a long non-uniform quantum wire where the electron-electron interactions and the density vary smoothly at large length scales. We show that these inhomogeneities lead to a finite resistivity of the wire,…
The constraints on the scaling properties of conserved charge densities in the vicinity of a zero temperature ($T$), second-order quantum phase transition are studied. We introduce a generalized Wilson ratio, characterizing the non-linear…
Divergent carrier-density fluctuations equivalent to the critical opalescence of gas-liquid transitions emerge around a metal-insulator critical point at a finite temperature. In contrast to the gas-liquid transitions, however, the critical…
The average charge Q on a quantum wire, modeled as a single-channel Luttinger liquid, connected to metallic leads and coupled to a gate is studied theoretically. We find that the behavior of the charge as the gate voltage V_G varies depends…
Driven particle transport in crowded and confining environments is fundamental to diverse phenomena across physics, chemistry, and biology. A main objective in studying such systems is to identify novel emergent states and phases of…
Electron transport through a single-level quantum dot weakly coupled to Luttinger liquid leads is considered in the master equation approach. It is shown that for a weak or moderately strong interaction the differential conductance…
Phase transitions which occur at zero temperature when some non-thermal parameter like pressure, chemical composition or magnetic field is changed are called quantum phase transitions. They are caused by quantum fluctuations which are a…
The transport properties of quantum dots with up to N=7 electrons ranging from the weak to the strong interacting regime are investigated via the projected Hartree-Fock technique. As interactions increase radial order develops in the dot,…
The linear transport properties of a model molecular transistor with electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions were investigated analytically and numerically. The model takes into account phonon modulation of the electronic energy…
The quantum transport in a narrow channel (NC) is studied in the presence of a time-dependent delta-profile electric field. The electric field is taken to be transversely polarized, with frequency $\omega$, causing inter-subband and…
Charge transport is a revealing probe of the quantum properties of materials. Strong interactions can blur charge carriers resulting in a poorly understood "quantum soup". Here we study the conductivity of the Fermi-Hubbard model, a testing…
The realization of single-molecule thermal conductance measurements has driven the need for theoretical tools to describe conduction processes that occur over atomistic length scales. In macroscale systems, the principle that is typically…
The study of the charge excitations in cuprates is presently an interesting topic because of the development of new and precise x-ray experiments. Based on a large-$N$ formulation of the two-dimensional $t$-$J$ model, which allows us to…
Redox molecular junctions are molecular conduction junctions that involve more than one oxidation state of the molecular bridge. This property is derived from the ability of the molecule to transiently localize transmitting electrons,…
