    • Model for phononic energy dissipation in friction 

      Buldum, A.; Leitner, D. M.; Çıracı, Salim (American Physical Society, 1999)
      We have developed a microscopic model of phononic energy dissipation in friction that involves the generation of a local excess phonon distribution in a nanoparticle between two sliding objects, and its damping into the ...

    • Reduced density matrix approach to phononic dissipation in friction 

      Özpineci, A.; Leitner, D. M.; Çıracı, Salim (2000)
      Understanding mechanisms for energy dissipation from nanoparticles in contact with large samples is a central problem in describing friction microscopically. Calculation of the reduced density matrix appears to be the most ...

    • Thermal conduction through a molecule 

      Buldum, A.; Leitner, D. M.; Çıracı, Salim (E D P Sciences, 1999)
      The quantum features of phononic thermal conduction through a molecule between two reservoirs have been studied in the weak-coupling limit. As opposed to ballistic heat transfer through a uniform bridge or atomic chain ...
