Beyond the State of the Art: Novel Approaches for Thermal and Electrical Transport in Nanoscale Devices

Almost any interaction between two physical entities can be described through the transfer of either charge, spin, momentum, or energy. Therefore, any theory able to describe these transport phenomena can shed light on a variety of physical, chemical, and biological effects, enriching our understand...

In this review, we will discuss the standard workhorses for transport in nanoscale devices, namely Boltzmann's equation and Landauer's approach. We will emphasize their strengths, but also analyze their limits, proposing theories and models useful to go beyond the state of the art in the investigation of transport in nanoscale devices.This research was funded by the Spanish Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO) grant number FIS2016-79464-P (SElecT-DFT) and MINECOG17/A01 (TOWTherm), by the Basque Government (Eusko Jaurlaritza) through the Grupos Consolidados (IT578-13 and IT1249-19).
