Transient behavior of full counting statistics in thermal transport

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

The generating function of energy counting statistics is derived for phononic junction systems. It is expressed in terms of the contour-ordered self-energy of the lead with shifted arguments, ΣA(τ,τ′)=ΣL(τ+ℏx(τ),τ′+ℏx(τ′))−ΣL(τ,τ′)Σ^A(τ, τ') = Σ_L\bigl(τ+\hbar x(τ), τ' + \hbar x(τ')\bigr) - Σ_L(τ, τ'), where ΣL(τ,τ′)Σ_L(τ,τ') is the usual contour-ordered self-energy of the left lead. The cumulants of the energy transferred in a given time tMt_M from the lead to the center is obtained by taking derivatives. A transient result of the first four cumulants of a graphene junction is presented. It is found that measurements cause the energy to flow into the lead.
