We study heat transport in quantum spin systems analytically and numerically. First, we demonstrate that heat current through a two-level quantum spin system can be modulated from zero to a finite value by tuning a magnetic field. Second,…
The interplay of different scattering mechanisms can lead to novel effects in transport. We show theoretically that the interplay of weak impurity and Umklapp scattering in spin-1/2 chains leads to a pronounced dip in the magnetic field…
We study the 1-d isotropic Heisenberg model of two spin-1/2 systems as a quantum heat engine. The engine undergoes a four-step Otto cycle where the two adiabatic branches involve changing the external magnetic field at a fixed value of the…
We study heat transport in a chain of harmonic oscillators with random elastic collisions between nearest-neighbours. The equations of motion of the covariance matrix are numerically solved for free and fixed boundary conditions. In the…
We calculate the rate of energy flow between two macroscopic bodies, each in thermodynamic equilibrium at a different temperature, and joined by a weak mechanical link. The macroscopic solids are assumed to be electrically insulating, so…
We study the thermal transport properties of several quantum spin chains and ladders. We find indications for a diverging thermal conductivity at finite temperatures for the models examined. The temperature at which the non-diverging…
We consider the accurate investigation of the energy current and its components, heat and work, in some boundary driven quantum spin systems. The expressions for the currents, as well as the associated Lindblad master equation, are obtained…
We work out the non-equilibrium steady state properties of a harmonic lattice which is connected to heat reservoirs at different temperatures. The heat reservoirs are themselves modeled as harmonic systems. Our approach is to write quantum…
Transport in open quantum systems can be explored through various theoretical frameworks, including the quantum master equation, scattering matrix, and Heisenberg equation of motion. The choice of framework depends on factors such as the…
Mean field theory is applied to nonequilibrium thermal energy transport in a model molecular junction. An approximation to the total time-dependent heat current in the junction is constructed using an ensemble of Ehrenfest trajectories, and…
We obtain an analytical expression for the heat current between two overdamped quantum oscillators interacting with local thermal baths at different temperatures. The total heat current is split into classical and quantum contributions. We…
We study the thermal transport of a spin-1/2 two leg antiferromagnetic ladder in the direction of legs. The possible effect of spin-orbit coupling and crystalline electric field are investigated in terms of anisotropies in the Heisenberg…
Standard quantum master equation techniques such as the Redfield or Lindblad equations are perturbative to second order in the microscopic system-reservoir coupling parameter $\lambda$. As a result, characteristics of dissipative systems,…
Thermodynamic properties of the quantum Heisenberg spin chains with S = 1/2, 1, and 3/2 are investigated using the transfer-matrix renormalization-group method. The temperature dependence of the magnetization, susceptibility, specific heat,…
We discuss the problem of heat conduction in quantum spin chain models. To investigate this problem it is necessary to consider the finite open system connected to heat baths. We describe two different procedures to couple the system with…
The heat transport in a system of $S=1/2$ large-$J$ Heisenberg spin chains, describing closely Sr$_2$CuO$_3$ and SrCuO$_2$ cuprates, is studied theoretically at $T\ll J$ by considering interactions of the bosonized spin excitations with…
We study heat transport for solids in the presence of arbitrary time-dependent force. Using nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach we present an exact analytical expression of current for the linear system. We found that the heat…
The spin-1/2 Hamiltonian for two coupled isosceles Heisenberg triangles, which is well suited for describing the V$_6$-type magnetic molecules, is studied by exact diagonalization. The quantum phase transition diagram, at zero temperature,…
An analog of the Meir-Wingreen formula for the steady-state heat current through a model molecular junction is derived. The expression relates the heat current to correlation functions that involve operators only acting on the degrees of…
We investigate numerically the magnetisation dynamics of an array of nano-disks interacting through the magneto-dipolar coupling. In the presence of a temperature gradient, the chain reaches a non-equilibrium steady state where energy and…
