Heat transfer in a nonequilibrium spin-boson model: A perturbative approach
arXiv:1903.02751 · doi:10.1016/j.aop.2020.168203
Abstract
We investigate the heat transport in a nonequilibrium spin-boson model, where a two level system bridging two harmonic reservoirs at different temperatures, by employing a unitary transformation along with a resolvent operator expansion technique. Analytical expressions of the heat current and the thermal conductance of this model are obtained. Compared with the performances of other methods, namely, the nonequilibrium Green's function method and the equation of motion formulation, our approach provides a reasonable description of heat transfer properties of the nonequilibrium spin-boson model for the weak-coupling region at low temperature.
