Transport of electrons in a single molecule junction is the simplest problem in the general
subject area of molecular electronics. In the past few years, this area has been extended to …

Application of the field-effect transistor principle to novel materials to achieve electrostatic
do** is a relatively new research area. It may provide the opportunity to bring about …

During the 11 years since the first edition was published the field of quantum kinetics has
experienced a great expansion, and the methods described in the first edition are now …

Molecular junctions, where single molecules are bound to metal or semiconductor
electrodes, represent a unique architecture to investigate molecules in a distinct …

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 …

Nanotechnology, science, and engineering spearhead the 21st century revolution that is
leading to fundamental breakthroughs in the way materials, devices, and systems are …

We describe a first-principles method for calculating electronic structure, vibrational modes
and frequencies, electron-phonon couplings, and inelastic electron transport properties of …

We show that Franck-Condon physics leads to a significant current suppression at low bias
voltages (termed Franck-Condon blockade) in transport through single molecules with …

A real-time path-integral Monte Carlo approach is developed to study the dynamics in a
many-body quantum system coupled to a phonon background until reaching a …

This book is an introduction to a rapidly develo** field of modern theoretical physics—the
theory of quantum transport at nanoscale. The theoretical methods considered in the book …
