Heat conduction in molecular transport junctions
Heating and heat conduction in molecular junctions are considered within a general nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. We obtain a unified description of heating in current-carrying molecular junctions as well as the electron and phonon contributions to the thermal flux, including their mutual influence. Ways to calculate these contributions, their relative importance, and ambiguities in...
متن کاملInterfacial Thermal Transport via One-Dimensional Atomic Junction Model
In modern information technology, as integration density increases rapidly and the dimension of materials reduces to nanoscale, interfacial thermal transport (ITT) has attracted widespread attention of scientists. This review introduces the latest theoretical development in ITT through one-dimensional (1D) atomic junction model to address the thermal transport across an interface. With full con...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Green's function approach to phonon transport in defective carbon nanotubes.
We have developed a new theoretical formalism for phonon transport in nanostructures using the nonequilibrium phonon Green's function technique and have applied it to thermal conduction in defective carbon nanotubes. The universal quantization of low-temperature thermal conductance in carbon nanotubes can be observed even in the presence of local structural defects such as vacancies and Stone-W...
متن کاملRaman scattering from molecular conduction junctions: Charge transfer mechanism
We present a model for the charge transfer contribution to surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in a molecular junction. The model is a generalization of the equilibrium scheme for SERS of a molecule adsorbed on a metal surface [B. N. J. Persson. Chem. Phys. Lett. 82, 561 (1981)]. We extend the same physical consideration to a nonequilibrium situation in a biased molecular junction and to...
متن کاملQuantum 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...
