Pumps are transport mechanisms in which direct currents result from a cyclic evolution of the
potential,. As Thouless showed, the pumping process can have topological origins, when …

The success of Berry phases in quantum mechanics stimulated the study of similar
phenomena in other areas of physics, including the theory of living cell locomotion and …

An effective medium theory is developed which goes beyond the quasistatic limit to
accurately predict the unusual properties of certain elastic metamaterials in two dimensions …

The aim of this book is to introduce the basic elements of the scattering matrix approach to
transport phenomena in dynamical quantum systems of non-interacting electrons. This …

A method is described for computing total cross sections for the ionization of inner shells of
atoms and positive ions by impact of electrons and positrons with arbitrary energies. The …

We present a general unified approach for the study of quantum thermal machines,
including both heat engines and refrigerators, operating under periodic adiabatic driving …

We generalize the theory of thermoelectrics to include coherent electron systems under
adiabatic ac driving, accounting for quantum pumping of charge and heat, as well as for the …

We analyze the two-dimensional momentum distribution of electrons ionized by few-cycle
laser pulses in the transition regime from multiphoton absorption to tunneling by solving the …

We present the theory of spin pumping by a field-driven domain wall for the situation that
spin is not fully conserved. We calculate the pumped current in a metallic ferromagnet to first …

The formation of near-threshold structures in the angle-resolved photoelectron spectrum, the
cusp in the transverse electron momentum distribution, and the forward-backward …
