Statistical mechanics of Floquet systems: the pervasive problem of near degeneracies
Daniel W. Hone, Roland Ketzmerick, Walter Kohn
The statistical mechanics of periodically driven ("Floquet") systems in contact with a heat bath exhibits some radical differences from the traditional statistical mechanics of und…
Nearsightedness of Electronic Matter
E. Prodan, W. Kohn
In an earlier paper, W. Kohn had qualitatively introduced the concept of "nearsightedness" of electrons in many-atom systems. It can be viewed as underlying such important ideas as…
Landauer Conductance without Two Chemical Potentials
Alex Kamenev, Walter Kohn
We present a theory of the four--terminal conductance for the multi-channel tunneling barrier, which is based on the self-consistent solution of Shrodinger, Poisson and continuity…
Edge Electron Gas
Walter Kohn, Ann E. Mattsson
The uniform electron gas, the traditional starting point for density-based many-body theories of inhomogeneous systems, is inappropriate near electronic edges. In its place we put…
Van der Waals Energies in Density Functional Theory
Walter Kohn, Yigal Meir, Dmitrii E. Makarov
In principle, density functional theory yields the correct ground-state densities and energies of electronic systems under the action of a static external potential. However, tradi…
Low Energy Behavior of Quantum Adsorption
D. P. Clougherty, W. Kohn
We present an exact solution of a 1D model: a particle of incident energy colliding with a target which is a 1D harmonic ``solid slab'' with atoms in its ground state; the…
