نویسنده
چکیده
We studied the phononic heat transfer through an atomic dielectric wire with both infinite and finite lengths by using a model Hamiltonian approach. At low temperature under ballistic transport, the thermal conductance contributed by each phonon branch of a uniform and harmonic chain cannot exceed the well-known value which depends linearly on temperature but is material independent. We predict that this ballistic thermal conductance will exhibit stepwise behavior as a function of temperature. By performing numerical calculations on a more realistic system, where a small atomic chain is placed between two reservoirs, we also found resonance modes, which should also lead to the stepwise behavior in the thermal conductance.

We suggest how to construct an effective low energy Hamiltonian via Monte Carlo starting from a given action. We test it by computing thermodynamical observables like average energy and specific heat for simple quantum systems.

Consistent perturbation theory for thermodynamical quantities in strongly type II superconductors in magnetic field at low temperatures is developed. It is complementary to the existing expansion valid at high temperatures. Magnetization and specific heat are calculated to two loop order and compare well with existing Monte Carlo simulations, other theories and experiments. Typeset using REVTEX 1

It is shown that an observed length in the potential drops across IQHE samples is a universal length for a given value of magnetic field which results from the quantum mechanical uncertainty relation.

We introduce quantum gauge fixing (QGF) as a new class of gauge fixings. While the maximal center gauge might not show vortex dominance, the confining properties of the vortices observed in past lattice calculations are argued to have been obtained in a gauge more akin to QGF than to the strict maximal center gauge.
