Quantum thermal transport in nanostructures

JS Wang, J Wang, JT Lü - The European Physical Journal B, 2008 - Springer
In this colloquia review we discuss methods for thermal transport calculations for
nanojunctions connected to two semi-infinite leads served as heat-baths. Our emphases are …

Langevin dynamics with dichotomous noise; direct simulation and applications

D Barik, PK Ghosh, DS Ray - Journal of Statistical Mechanics …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider the motion of a Brownian particle moving in a potential field and driven by
dichotomous noise with exponential correlation. Traditionally, the analytic as well as the …

Quantum state-dependent diffusion and multiplicative noise: a microscopic approach

D Barik, DS Ray - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2005 - Springer

Hybrid quantum/classical molecular dynamics for a proton transfer reaction coupled to a dissipative bath

SY Kim, S Hammes-Schiffer - The Journal of chemical physics, 2006 - pubs.aip.org
A hybrid quantum/classical molecular dynamics approach is applied to a proton transfer
reaction represented by a symmetric double well system coupled to a dissipative bath. In this …

Generalization of the escape rate from a metastable state driven by external cross-correlated noise processes

J Ray Chaudhuri, S Chattopadhyay, SK Banik - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2007 - APS
We propose generalization of the escape rate from a metastable state for externally driven
correlated noise processes in one dimension. In addition to the internal non-Markovian …

Effect of interference between two colored noises on the stationary states of a Brownian particle

In this paper we present properties of an external colored cross-correlated noise-driven
Brownian system which is coupled to a thermal bath. Multiplicative cross-correlated noises …

Quantum escape kinetics over a fluctuating barrier

PK Ghosh, D Barik, BC Bag, DS Ray - The Journal of chemical physics, 2005 - pubs.aip.org
The escape rate of a particle over a fluctuating barrier in a double-well potential exhibits
resonance at an optimum value of correlation time of fluctuation. This has been shown to be …
