Transient dynamics of electrons in mesoscopic and bulk systems
This research concentrates on the electron response to sudden/fast changes of boundary conditions, like coupling to the particle reservoirs (leads) and to the environment (thermal baths), or to the excitation by short external pulses of light or other fields. The research aims at an adequate description of the non-equilibrium correlated state during the initial transient, the decay of correlations as a gate to the non-equilibrium kinetic stage of evolution and to the final equilibration.
