Global and local relaxation of a spin-chain under exact Schroedinger and master-equation dynamics
Markus J. Henrich, Mathias Michel, Michael Hartmann +2
We solve the Schroedinger equation for an interacting spin-chain locally coupled to a quantum environment with a specific degeneracy structure. The reduced dynamics of the whole sp…

Fundamentals of Nano-Thermodynamics
M. Hartmann, G. Mahler, O. Hess
Recent progress in the synthesis and processing of nano-structured materials and systems calls for an improved understanding of thermal properties on small length scales. In this c…

Existence of temperature on the nanoscale
Michael Hartmann, Guenter Mahler, Ortwin Hess
We consider a regular chain of quantum particles with nearest neighbour interactions in a canonical state with temperature . We analyse the conditions under which the state fact…
