Theory of Transport for Interacting Many-Body Systems
Abstract
A novel approach to quantum transport in coupled electron-phonon systems has been developed. Application to the polaron problem, two-level systems and semiconductor double-well structures has been made. We find that dissipative effects in the electronic system can be obtained. Furthermore, a theoretical model for the electronic density of states for (imperfect) semiconductor systems has been developed to aid interpretation of transport data. This model has been successfully applied to ternary alloys, as well as amorphous semiconductor quantum wells. Quantum transport theory, dissipation, electronic density of states.
