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 …

Thermal rectification is a phenomenon in which thermal transport along a specific axis is
dependent upon the sign of the temperature gradient or heat current. This phenomenon …

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 …

With the advent of molecular electronics, tremendous attention has been paid towards
understanding the structure-function relationship of molecular junctions. Understanding how …

Arrays of ligand-stabilized colloidal nanocrystals with size-tunable electronic structure are
promising alternatives to single-crystal semiconductors in electronic, optoelectronic and …

Nonlinear heat transfer can be exploited to reveal novel transport phenomena and thus
enhance people's ability to manipulate heat flux at will. However, there has not been a …

Energy flows anisotropically through the residues and vibrational states of globular proteins.
A variety of experimental and computational studies have identified energy transport …

Molecular junctions exhibit a rich and tunable set of thermal transport phenomena. However,
the predicted high thermoelectric efficiencies, phonon quantum interference effects …

Heating and heat conduction in molecular junctions are considered within a general
nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. We obtain a unified description of heating in …

We review a theory for coupled many-nonlinear oscillator systems that describes quantum
ergodicity and energy flow in molecules. The theory exploits the isomorphism between …
