Ising Relaxation Dynamics: Series Expansion and Monte Carlo Simulation
The critical relaxation of the 2D Ising model is studied by series expansion in time t and by Monte Carlo simulation. Estimates from a 12-th order series Padé analysis for the dynamical critical exponent are comp...

Phonon Hall effect in ionic crystals in the presence of static magnetic field
We study phonon Hall effect (PHE) for ionic crystals in the presence of static magnetic field. Using Green-Kubo formula, we present an exact calculation of thermal conductivity tensor by considering both posi...

Cumulants of heat transfer across nonlinear quantum systems
We consider thermal conduction across a general nonlinear phononic junction. Based on two-time observation protocol and the nonequilibrium Green’s function method, heat transfer in steady-state regimes is stu...

Strong electron–phonon interaction and colossal magnetoresistance in EuTiO3
At low temperatures, EuTiO3 system has very large resistivities and exhibits colossal magnetoresistance. Based on a first principle calculation and the dynamical mean-field theory for small polaron we have calcu...

Three-terminal normal-superconductor junction as thermal transistor
We propose a thermal transistor based on a three-terminal normal-superconductor junction with superconductor terminal acting as the base. The emergence of heat amplification is due to the negative differentia...

Open AccessTransport in electron-photon systems
We review the description and modeling of transport phenomena among the electron systems coupled via scalar or vector photons. It consists of three parts. The first part is about scalar photons, i.e., Coulomb ...
