How an electrical current can stabilize a molecular nanojunction
André Erpenbeck, Yaling Ke, Uri Peskin +1
The stability of molecular junctions under transport is of the utmost importance for the field of molecular electronics. This question is often addressed within the paradigm of cur…
Nonadiabatic to Adiabatic Transition of Electron Transfer in Colloidal Quantum Dot Molecules
Bokang Hou, Michael Thoss, Uri Banin +1
Electron transfer is an important and fundamental process in chemistry, biology and physics, and has received significant attention in recent years. Perhaps one of the most intrigu…
Quantifying the influence of the initial state on the dynamics of an open quantum system
Sebastian Wenderoth, Heinz-Peter Breuer, Michael Thoss
A small system in contact with a macroscopic environment usually approaches an asymptotic state, determined only by some macroscopic properties of the environment such as the tempe…
Current-induced forces in nanosystems: A hierarchical equations of motion approach
Samuel L. Rudge, Yaling Ke, Michael Thoss
A new approach to calculating current-induced forces in charge transport through nanosystems is introduced. Starting from the fully quantum mechanical hierarchical equations of mot…
Quantum thermodynamics of nonadiabatically driven systems: The effect of electron-phonon interaction
Jakob Bätge, Amikam Levy, Wenjie Dou +1
In this work we study the effects of nonadiabatic external driving on the thermodynamics of an electronic system coupled to two electronic leads and to a phonon mode, with and with…
Nonequilibrium reaction rate theory: Formulation and implementation within the hierarchical equations of motion approach
Yaling Ke, Christoph Kaspar, André Erpenbeck +2
The study of chemical reactions in environments under nonequilibrium conditions has been of interest recently in a variety of contexts, including current-induced reactions in molec…
