Transport coefficients in non-quasiparticle systems

Transport Coefficients of Quantum-Classical Systems

Transport coefficients for dense hard-disk systems.

A study of the transport coefficients of a system of elastic hard disks based on the use of Helfand-Einstein expressions is reported. The self-diffusion, the viscosity, and the heat conductivity are examined with averaging techniques especially appropriate for event-driven molecular dynamics algorithms with periodic boundary conditions. The density and size dependence of the results are analyze...

Quasiparticle transport in arrays of chaotic cavities

– We find the distribution of transmission eigenvalues in a series of identical junctions between chaotic cavities using the circuit theory of mesoscopic transport. This distribution rapidly approaches the diffusive wire limit as the number of junctions increases, independent of the specific scattering properties of a single junction. The cumulant generating function and the first three cumulan...

Spin-polarized quasiparticle transport in cuprate superconductors

The effects of spin-polarized quasiparticle transport in superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) epitaxial films are investigated by means of current injection into perovskite ferromagnet-insulatorsuperconductor (F-I-S) heterostructures. These effects are compared with the injection of simple quasiparticles into control samples of perovskite non-magnetic metal-insulator-superconductor (N-IS). System...

Incremental Identification of Transport Coefficients in Convection-Diffusion Systems

In this paper, an incremental approach for the identification of a model for transport coefficients in convection-diffusion systems on the basis of high-resolution measurement data is presented. The transport is represented by a convection term with known convective velocity and by a diffusion term with an unknown, generally state-dependent transport coefficient. The identification of the trans...
