Our aim is to propose a theory which goes beyond the classical formulation of
thermodynamics. This is achieved by enlarging the space of basic independent variables …

We present a new approach to density functional theory, which does not require the
calculation of Kohn-Sham orbitals. The computational workload required by our method …

We study the voltage-biased S-QD-S-QD-S Josephson junction, composed of three
superconductors (S) and two quantum dots (QDs). In the absence of an applied voltage, the …

A single phenomenological expression is proposed to describe thermal transport in a wide
variety of nanoscale devices. Size and frequency dependence is studied for some …

A mesoscopic thermodynamic theory of fast phenomena is proposed. In principle, such a
description should include an infinite number of moments of the velocity distribution; in a …

We propose a new method for the evaluation of the particle density and kinetic pressure
profiles in inhomogeneous one-dimensional systems of noninteracting fermions, and apply it …

The electronic band structure of the InAs-GaSb superlattice is studied within the localized-
orbital framework by the renormalization method. The tight-binding Hamiltonian includes …

The formulation of generalized transport laws leading to causal hyperbolic hydrodynamical
equations gives rise to a critical Mach number M c at which a singularity develops in the …

We present a numerically accurate procedure for the study of the electronic structure of one-
dimensional incommensurate systems. Our method is used to infer the localized or extended …

We provide a very efficient procedure for obtaining the excited states of a quantum operator
H, in any arbitrary chosen energy range, independently from the knowledge of the states at …
