Real-time simulation of transport and current-driven dynamics in nanoscale devices

In this work we investigate the no-conservative nature of current-induced forces using two approaches: harmonic, adiabatic, steady-state calculations, using the Landaver description of current flow; and non-adiabatic, non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation, with current described using an ope...
