A semiclassical nonequilibrium Green's Function approach to electron transport in systems exhibiting electron-phonon couplings
Maicol A. Ochoa
We formulate a semiclassical theory for electron transport in open quantum systems with electron-phonon interactions adequate for situations when the system's phonon dynamics is co…
Quantum thermodynamics of periodically driven polaritonic systems
Maicol A. Ochoa
We investigate the energy distribution and quantum thermodynamics in periodically driven polaritonic systems in the stationary state at room temperature. Specifically, we consider…
Metal adsorbate interactions and the convergence of density functional calculations
Christoph Rohmann, Maicol A. Ochoa, Michael Zwolak
The adsorption of metal atoms on nanostructures, such as graphene and nanotubes, plays an important role in catalysis, electronic doping, and tuning material properties. Quantum ch…
Optimal in situ electromechanical sensing of molecular species
Maicol A. Ochoa, Michael Zwolak
We investigate protocols for optimal molecular detection with electromechanical nanoscale sensors in ambient conditions. Our models are representative of suspended graphene nanorib…
Generalized Voigt broadening due to thermal fluctuations of electromechanical nanosensors and molecular electronic junctions
Maicol A. Ochoa, Michael Zwolak
Graphene and other 2D materials give a platform for electromechanical sensing of biomolecules in aqueous, room temperature environments. The electronic current changes in response…
Quantum Thermodynamics for Driven Dissipative Bosonic Systems
Maicol A. Ochoa, Natalya Zymbovskaya, Abraham Nitzan
We investigate two prototypical dissipative bosonic systems under slow driving and arbitrary system-bath coupling strength, recovering their dynamic evolution as well as the heat a…
