Towards a nonequilibrium Green’s function description of nuclear reactions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Semiclassical time-dependent approaches are nowadays able to describe energetic central collisions of heavy isotopes with minimal assumptions. Simulations in the mean-field picture have provided insight on both nuclear structure and low-energy many-body reaction mechanisms. In this context, nonequilibrium Greens functions techniques have the potential to improve the description of the time evolution of nuclear systems by introducing effects beyond the mean-field. We describe a first attempt to use the Kadanoff-Baym dynamics for one-dimensional nuclear systems, with a particular emphasis on the process of correlation buildup.

Towards a microscopic description of nuclear reactions
Low-energy nuclear reactions play an important role in many astrophysical scenarios. In many cases experimental data are not available at the energies important for the astrophysical processes. From the theory perspective such reactions have been investigated mainly with cluster models [1]. These models suffer from very simplified effective interactions and rather restricted model spaces for th...
متن کاملSelf-consistent Green’s function method for nuclei and nuclear matter
Recent results obtained by applying the method of self-consistent Green’s functions to nuclei and nuclear matter are reviewed. Particular attention is given to the description of experimental data obtained from the (e,e′p) and (e,e′2N) reactions that determine one and two-nucleon removal probabilities in nuclei since the corresponding amplitudes are directly related to the imaginary parts of th...
متن کاملGreen ’ s function technique for nonequilibrium steady state
Nonperturbative dynamic theory has a particular advantage in studying the transport in a quantum impurity system in nonequilibrium steady state. Therefore, a method for obtaining the retarded Green’s function is studied here. For that purpose, we use the resolvent Green’s function in the Heisenberg picture and find all linearly independent basis vectors spanning the Liouville space. We propose ...

In this article, we study the coupled mode space approach to nonequilibrium Green’s function NEGF simulation. When the lateral confinement of nanoscale devices changes abruptly and the correlation functions arising from coupled mode effects are improperly evaluated in the current and charge density calculations, it becomes difficult to solve nonequilibrium Green’s function equations self-consis...
