Extending the hierarchical quantum master equation approach to low temperatures and realistic band structures
Andre Erpenbeck, Christian Hertlein, Christian Schinabeck +1
The hierarchical quantum master equation (HQME) approach is an accurate method to describe quantum transport in interacting nanosystems. It generalizes perturbative master equation…
Hierarchical quantum master equation approach to charge transport in molecular junctions with time-dependent molecule-lead coupling strengths
Andre Erpenbeck, Lukas Götzendörfer, Christian Schinabeck +1
Time-dependent currents in molecular junctions can be caused by structural fluctuations or interaction with external fields. In this publication, we demonstrate how the hierarchica…
Current-induced bond rupture in single-molecule junctions
Andre Erpenbeck, Christian Schinabeck, Uri Peskin +1
Electronic-vibrational coupling in single-molecule junctions may result in current-induced bond rupture and is thus an important mechanism for the stability of molecular junctions.…
Hierarchical quantum master equation approach to electronic-vibrational coupling in nonequilibrium transport through nanosystems: Reservoir formulation and application to vibrational instabilities
C. Schinabeck, R. Härtle, M. Thoss
We present a novel hierarchical quantum master equation (HQME) approach which provides a numerically exact description of nonequilibrium charge transport in nanosystems with electr…
Cooling by heating in nonequilibrium nanosystems
R. Härtle, C. Schinabeck, M. Kulkarni +3
We demonstrate the possiblity to cool nanoelectronic systems in nonequilibrium situations by increasing the temperature of the environment. Such cooling by heating is possible for…
