    Abstract : The thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of Zr, ZrC, and ZrN were calculated using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) and the Boltzmann transport equation. The electron-phonon scattering was modeled via the self-energy relaxation time approximation (SERTA), and the phonon-phonon scattering via the analogous single-mode relaxation time approximation (SMRTA).

  3. 2. Charge transport in a Hubbard-Holstein junction: Preliminary results from a DFT approach.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Eric Ceccarelli; [2019]
    Keywords : Density functional theory; DFT; Hubbard-Holstein; Hubbard-Holstein model; HH; Quantum transport; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Many-body systems are extremely complicated to describe due to mutual interactions between the constituent particles. This is for example the case of systems with electron-electron (e-e) and electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions. READ MORE
