Anomalous Transport in Sketched Nanostructures at theLaAlO3/SrTiO3Interface

Anomalous transport and particle acceleration at shocks

The theory of first order Fermi acceleration at shocks assumes that particles diffuse due to scattering off slow-moving magnetic irregularities. However, cosmic rays are closely tied to magnetic field lines, and the transport process, particularly across the direction of the field, is likely to be more complicated. To describe cross field transport we employ recent extensions of the Rechester-R...

Phonon Transport in Nanostructures

Recent experiments aiming to produce TiO2 nanostructures have been riddled with complications. It has been found that an undesired reaction occurs with the water used in the flaking process producing a sulphurous smell. This product suggests the production of TiOxS2−x in the layered crystal structure. This nanostructure has great potential benefits for the construction of semiconductor devices ...

Quantum thermal transport in nanostructures

In this colloquia review we discuss methods for thermal transport calculations for nanojunctions connected to two semi-infinite leads served as heat-baths. Our emphases are on fundamental quantum theory and atomistic models. We begin with an introduction of the Landauer formula for ballistic thermal transport and give its derivation from scattering wave point of view. Several methods (scatterin...
