摘要: At low temperatures when the phonon modes are effectively frozen, photon transport is dominating mechanism of thermal relaxation in metallic systems. Starting from a microscopic many-body Hamiltonian, we develop nonequilibrium Green's function method to study energy by photons nanostructures. A formally exact expression for current between island and one-dimensional electromagnetic field obtained. From this expression, derive quantized conductance as well show how results can be generalized situations. Generally, frequency-dependent noise electrons determines transfer rate.
