description: Studies of future space- and ground-based exoplanet surveys often rely on models of planetary systems to simulate instrument response, estimate scientific yields, perform trade analyses, and study efficient observation strategies. Until now, no planetary system models contained all of the basic physics necessary to enable study with all of the major exoplanet detection methods. Here we introduce a suite of such models generated by a new tool, exoVista. The exoVista tool quickly generates thousands of models of quasi-self-consistent planetary systems around known nearby stars at scattered light wavelengths and efficiently records the position, velocity, spectrum, and physical parameters of all bodies as functions of time. The modeled planetary systems can be used to simulate surveys using the direct imaging, transit, astrometric, and radial velocity techniques, as well as the overlap of these different methods.

description: We report on magneto-oscillations in differential resistivity of a two-dimensional electron system subject to intense microwave radiation. The period of these oscillations is determined not only by microwave frequency but also by its intensity. A theoretical model based on quantum kinetics at high microwave power captures all important characteristics of this phenomenon which is strongly nonlinear in microwave intensity. Our results demonstrate a crucial role of the multi-photon processes near the cyclotron resonance and its harmonics in the presence of strong dc electric field and offer a unique way to reliably determine the intensity of microwaves acting on electrons.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A family of unidentified infrared emission (UIE) bands has been observed throughout the Universe. The current observed spectral properties of the UIE bands are summarized. These properties are discussed in the frameworks of different models of the chemical carriers of these bands. The UIE carriers represent a large reservoir of carbon in the Universe, and play a significant role in the physical and chemical processes in the interstellar medium and galactic environment. A correct identification of the carrier of the UIE bands is needed to use these bands as probes of galactic evolution.

description: We present an abundance analysis based on high resolution spectra of 8 stars selected to span the full range in metallicity in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find [Fe/H] for the sample stars ranges from -1.5 to -3.0 dex. Combining our sample with previously published work for a total of 14 luminous Draco giants, we show that the abundance ratios [Na/Fe], [Mg/Fe] and [Si/Fe] for the Draco giants overlap those of Galactic halo giants at the lowest [Fe/H] probed, but are significantly lower for the higher Fe-metallicity Draco stars. For the explosive alpha-elements Ca and Ti, the abundance ratios for Draco giants with [Fe/H] > -2.4 dex are approximately constant and slightly sub-solar, well below values characteristic of Galactic halo stars. The s-process contribution to the production of heavy elements begins at significantly lower Fe-metallicity than in the Galactic halo. Using a toy model we compare the behavior of the abundance ratios within the sample of Draco giants with those from the literature of Galactic globular clusters, and the Carina and Sgr dSph galaxies. The differences appear to be related to the timescale for buildup of the heavy elements, with Draco having the slowest rate. We note the presence of a Draco giant with [Fe/H] < -3.0 dex in our sample, and reaffirm that the inner Galactic halo could have been formed by early accretion of Galactic satellite galaxies and dissolution of young globular clusters, while the outer halo could have formed from those satellite galaxies accreted later.

description: We compare the surface brightness profile and morphology of the Galactic Centre Excess (GCE) identified in wide-angle $γ$-ray maps from the Fermi-Large Area Telescope to dark matter annihilation predictions derived from high-resolution $Λ$CDM magnetohydrodynamic simulations of galaxy formation. These simulations produce isolated, disc-dominated galaxies with structure, stellar populations, gas content, and stellar and halo masses comparable to those of the Milky Way. For a specific choice of annihilation cross-section, they agree well with the Fermi-LAT data over the full observed angular range, $1^{\circ}$ to $15^{\circ}$, whereas their dark-matter only counterparts, lacking any compression of the inner halo by the gravitational effects of the baryons, fail to predict emission as centrally concentrated as observed. These results provide additional support to the hypothesis that the GCE is produced by annihilating dark matter. If, however, it is produced by a different mechanism, they imply a strong upper limit on annihilation rates which can be translated into upper limits on the expected $γ$-ray flux not only from the inner Galaxy but also from any substructure, with or without stars, in the Galactic halo.

The ecology of curvature in flowers and hummingbird bills
Creators: name: Boehm, Mannfred Masahiro Asada
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: The diversity of shape and form is an intrinsic part of life on Earth. Evolution may often generate novel non-adaptive phenotypes through the process of drift or through pleiotropic effects. However, in some groups of organisms, morphological diversity is thought to increase individual fitness because different phenotypes mediate distinct behaviours, types of protection, or access to otherwise underused resources. The link between phenotypic diversity and niche partitioning offers an enticing explanation for global patterns of biodiversity. Flowering plants and hummingbirds are an intuitive and interesting system to test this theory because both clades occur in vastly greater numbers of species in the tropics than anywhere else. They are also potentially co-adapted to a mutual biotic landscape as much as the climatic and edaphic environment. In this thesis I examine the ecology of curvature in tubular flowers and hummingbird bills with the aim of understanding their role, if any, in niche partitioning, coexistence, and the potential for explaining diversity patterns across the Americas. In the first chapter I studied the natural history of a plant-hummingbird system exhibiting extreme curvature. I found evidence that trait-matching corresponded with a narrow niche breadth for both species. In the second chapter I reviewed the pollination ecology literature and found that the evidence supports curvature as a mediator of niche partitioning across many pollination systems. I also developed protocols and methods for more precisely measuring this trait. In the third chapter I compared the explanatory power of community phylogenetic structure and community-wide distributions of niche breadth in explaining bill diversity among hummingbird assemblages. I found that hummingbird bill shape (including curvature) generally does not play a significant role in niche partitioning, except in a minority of species with the most extreme bill shapes. Together, these three projects demonstrate the potential for flower-bill diversity in driving effective niche partitioning in special cases. The future of this field will hopefully see analyses testing niche partitioning as mediated by several traits. In plants and hummingbirds, much of the progress may come from focusing efforts on flowering phenology and foraging modes.

Measuring the Galactic Binary Fluxes with LISA: Metamorphoses and Disappearances of White Dwarf Binaries

description: The space gravitational wave detector LISA is expected to detect $\sim10^4$ of nearly monochromatic binaries, after $\sim 10$yr operation. We propose to measure the inspiral/outspiral binary fluxes in the frequency space, by processing tiny frequency drifts of these numerous binaries. Rich astrophysical information is encoded in the frequency dependencies of the two fluxes, and we can read the long-term evolution of white dwarf binaries, resulting in metamorphoses or disappearances. This measurement will thus help us to deepen our understanding on the strongly interacting exotic objects. Using a simplified model for the frequency drift speeds, we discuss the primary aspects of the flux measurement, including the prospects with LISA.

The Rashba spin splitting can be tuned by the gate biases, while we find a small Dresselhaus splitting that depends only weakly on the gating. We determine the absolute values and signs of the two components and show that for zero Rashba spin splitting the anisotropy of the spin-dephasing rate vanishes.

description: Standard approaches for adversarial patch generation lead to noisy conspicuous patterns, which are easily recognizable by humans. Recent research has proposed several approaches to generate naturalistic patches using generative adversarial networks (GANs), yet only a few of them were evaluated on the object detection use case. Moreover, the state of the art mostly focuses on suppressing a single large bounding box in input by overlapping it with the patch directly. Suppressing objects near the patch is a different, more complex task. In this work, we have evaluated the existing approaches to generate inconspicuous patches. We have adapted methods, originally developed for different computer vision tasks, to the object detection use case with YOLOv3 and the COCO dataset. We have evaluated two approaches to generate naturalistic patches: by incorporating patch generation into the GAN training process and by using the pretrained GAN. For both cases, we have assessed a trade-off between performance and naturalistic patch appearance. Our experiments have shown, that using a pre-trained GAN helps to gain realistic-looking patches while preserving the performance similar to conventional adversarial patches.

description: We use an optical fiber taper waveguide to probe PbS quantum dots (QDs) dried on Si photonic crystal cavities near 1.55 $μ$m. We demonstrate that a low density ($\lesssim 100 μ$m$^{-2}$) of QDs does not significantly degrade cavity quality factors as high as $\approx3\times10^4$. We also show that the tapered fiber can be used to excite the QDs and collect the subsequent cavity-filtered photoluminescence, and present measurements of reversible photodarkening and QD saturation. This method represents an important step towards spectroscopy of single colloidal QDs in the telecommunications band.

description: In Phys. Rev. D 103, L111303 (2021), we had reported an improved calculation of the nuclear spin-independent parity violating electric dipole transition amplitude ($E1_{PV}$) for the $6s ~ ^2S_{1/2} - 7s ~ ^2S_{1/2}$ transition in $^{133}$Cs by employing a relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) theory. In a recent Comment, B. M. Roberts and J. S. M. Ginges have raised questions about our calculation of the so-called Core contribution to $E1_{PV}$. Our result for this contribution does not agree with theirs, but is in agreement with results from previous calculations where this contribution is given explicitly. In our reply, we explain in detail the validity of the evaluation of our core contribution. We emphasize that the Main, Core and Tail contributions have been treated on an equal footing in our work unlike the sum-over-states calculations. We also address their concerns about our approximate treatment of the contributions from the QED corrections, which was not the aim of our work, but was carried out for completeness. Nonetheless, conclusion of our above mentioned paper is not going to affect if we replace our estimated QED contribution to $E1_{PV}$ by earlier estimation.

description: Context: Stellar occultations, greatly enhanced by the publication of the Gaia data releases, permit not only the determination of asteroid size and shape, but also the retrieval of additional, accurate astrometry, with a possible relevant impact on the study of dynamical properties. The use of Gaia as reference catalogue and the recent implementation of an improved error model for occultation astrometry offer the opportunity to test its global astrometric performance on the existing data set of observed events, dominated by minor planets belonging to the main belt. Aims: We aim to explore the performance on orbit accuracy brought by reducing occultations by stellar positions given in Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) and Early Data Release 3 (EDR3), exploited jointly with the new occultation error model. Our goal is to verify that the quality of DR2 and EDR3 provides a logical progression in the exploitation of occultation astrometry with respect to previous catalogues. We also want to compare the post-fit residuals to the error model. Methods: We began with accurate orbit adjustment to occultation data, either alone or joined to the other available ground-based observations. We then analyzed the orbit accuracy and the post-fit residuals. Results: Gaia EDR3 and DR2 bring a noticeable improvement to the accuracy of occultation data, bringing an average reduction of their residuals upon fitting an orbit of about a factor of 5 when compared to other catalogues. This is particularly visible when occultations alone are used, resulting in very good orbits for a large fraction of objects. We demonstrate that occultation astrometry can reach the performance of Gaia on small asteroids. The joint use of archival data and occultations remains more challenging due to the higher uncertainties and systematic errors of other data, mainly obtained by traditional CCD imaging.

Quantum incompressibility of a falling Rydberg atom, and a gravitationally-induced charge separation effect in superconducting systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010

description: Freely falling point-like objects converge towards the center of the Earth. Hence the gravitational field of the Earth is inhomogeneous, and possesses a tidal component. The free fall of an extended quantum object such as a hydrogen atom prepared in a high principal-quantum-number stretch state, i.e., a circular Rydberg atom, is predicted to fall more slowly that a classical point-like object, when both objects are dropped from the same height from above the Earth. This indicates that, apart from "quantum jumps," the atom exhibits a kind of "quantum incompressibility" during free fall in inhomogeneous, tidal gravitational fields like those of the Earth. A superconducting ring-like system with a persistent current circulating around it behaves like the circular Rydberg atom during free fall. Like the electronic wavefunction of the freely falling atom, the Cooper-pair wavefunction is "quantum incompressible." The ions of the ionic lattice of the superconductor, however, are not "quantum incompressible," since they do not possess a globally coherent quantum phase. The resulting difference during free fall in the response of the nonlocalizable Cooper pairs of electrons and the localizable ions to inhomogeneous gravitational fields is predicted to lead to a charge separation effect, which in turn leads to a large repulsive Coulomb force that opposes the convergence caused by the tidal, attractive gravitational force on the superconducting system. A "Cavendish-like" experiment is proposed for observing the charge separation effect induced by inhomogeneous gravitational fields in a superconducting circuit. This experiment would demonstrate the existence of a novel coupling between gravity and electricity via macroscopically coherent quantum matter.

description: AstroSat spectra of the black hole system GRS 1915+105 during the heartbeat state (with a varying oscillation period from 150 to 100 secs) were analysed using a truncated relativistic disc model along with a Comptonization component. Spectra were fitted for segments of length ~ 24 secs. The oscillation can be described as coordinated variations of the accretion rate, Comptonised flux, and the inner disc radius, with the latter ranging from 1.235-5 gravitational radii. Comparison with results from the $χ$ and Intermediate states shows that while the accretion rate and the high energy photon index were similar, the inner disc radius and the fraction of Comptonised photons were larger for these states than for the heartbeat one. The coronal efficiency $η\equiv L_{ac}/\dot M c^2$, where $L_{ac}$ is the radiative luminosity generated in the corona is found to be approximately $\propto \dot M^{-2/3}$ for all the observations. The efficiency decreases with inner radii for the heartbeat state but has similar values for the $χ$ and Intermediate states where the inner radii is larger. The implications of these results are discussed.

description: Precise measurements of exoplanets radii are of key importance for our understanding of the origin and nature of these objects. Measurement of the planet radii using the transit method have reached a precision that the effects of stellar surface features have to be taken into account. While the effects from spots have already been studied in detail, our knowledge of the effects caused by faculae is still limited. This is particularly the case for M-stars. Faculae can pose a problem if they are inhomogeneously distributed on the stellar surface. Using the eclipse mapping method, we study the distribution of the faculae on the surface of GJ1214 using the CaIIH&K lines as tracers. In order to assess the homogeneity of the distribution in a quantitative way, we introduce the inhomogeneity factor IHF. IHF is 0% if the distribution is homogeneous, positive, if the plage regions are preferentially located along the path of the planet, and negative, if they are preferentially located outside the path of the planet. For GJ1214, we derive a rather small value of IHF=7.7-7.7+12.0%. We discuss the relevance of this result in the context of the PLATO and ARIEL missions.

description: We developed a model with no adjustable parameter for retention loss at short and long time scale in ferroelectric thin-film capacitors. We found that the predictions of this model are in good agreement with the experimental observations in the literature. In particular, it explains why a power-law function shows better fitting than a linear-log relation on a short time scale (10^-7 s to 1 s) and why a stretched exponential relation gives more precise description than a linear-log plot on a long time scale (>100 s), as reported by many researchers in the past. More severe retention losses at higher temperatures and in thinner films have also been correctly predicted by the present theory.

Emplacement environment and structural modification of the Big Bulk Cu-Au porphyry system, northwestern British Columbia
Creators: name: Miller, Emily Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: The Stewart-Iskut district contains a >200 km long belt of porphyry Cu-Au and epithermal Au mineralisation hosted in the Stikine Terrane of northwestern British Columbia. The porphyry deposits in the district are associated with a short-lived, (~6 M.y.) but significant, latest Triassic to Early Jurassic tectono-magmatic shift during which time most of the known copper resources in British Columbia accumulated. The tectonic and structural setting of porphyry emplacement in the region is obscured by mid-Cretaceous shortening related to the formation of the east-vergent Skeena fold-and-thrust belt and later Eocene deformation. Recent studies in this district propose that small, pull-apart basins served to localise emplacement of the Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell Cu-Au porphyry systems. The Big Bulk Cu-Au porphyry deposit is located near the southern extent of the Stewart-Iskut district in the Kitsault River Map area, 50 km southeast of Stewart. Detailed mapping (1:10,000 scale) in the area recognised conglomerates at the base of the Hazelton Group, informally referred to herein as the Kinskuch conglomerates, which contain locally-derived megaclasts (up to 120 m long). They are bound to the west by a prominent northeast-trending dextral fault (Tabletop fault). We propose that the Tabletop fault, and likely other faults in the area, had an early (latest Triassic) history with oblique strike-slip movement, and that releasing step-overs, splays, or double bends in this fault network created a local zone of north-south extension, easterly trending normal faults, and local pull-apart basin into which the Kinskuch conglomerate was deposited. The multi-phase Big Bulk diorite stock (204.61±0.18 Ma, CA-TIMS, U-Pb zircon), which hosts the Big Bulk porphyry system, cuts the lower part of the Hazelton Group and was emplaced in the southern portion of the proposed basin. The east-west elongated geometry of the Big Bulk stock and east-west orientation of sheeted porphyry-related veins are consistent with emplacement along easterly-trending normal faults and/or emplacement under north-south directed extension, consistent with that proposed for the pull-apart basin. Hence, like other porphyry deposits in the district, a local pull-apart basin appears to have influenced or controlled emplacement of the Big Bulk porphyry system.

description: SXP 15.3 and SXP 305 are two Be X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud that are spatially separated by ~7 arcsec. The small separation between these sources has, in the past, resulted in confusion about the origin of the emission from the combined region. We present long-term optical and X-ray monitoring results of both sources, where we study the historic and recent behaviour. In particular, from data collected as part of the S-CUBED project we see repeating X-ray outbursts from the combined region of the two sources in the recent lightcurve from the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and we investigate the origin of this emission. Using the H-alpha emission line from the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) and photometric flux from the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) to study the changes in the size and structure of the Be disc, we demonstrate that the X-ray emission likely originates from SXP 15.3. Timing analysis reveals unusual behaviour, where the optical outburst profile shows modulation at twice the frequency of the X-ray outbursts. We consider either of these periodicities being the true orbital period in SXP 15.3 and propose models based on the geometric orientations of the Be disc and neutron star to explain the physical origin of the outbursts.

Strong versus Weak Coupling Confinement in N=2 Supersymmetric QCD

description: We consider N=2 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group SU(N_c)=SU(N+1) and N_f number of quark matter multiplets, being perturbed by a small mass term for the adjoint matter, so that its Coulomb branch shrinks to a number of isolated vacua. We discuss the vacuum where r=N quarks develop VEV's for N_f\geq 2N=2N_c-2 (in particular, we focus on the N_f= 2N and N_f= 2N+1 cases). In the equal quark mass limit at large masses this vacuum stays at weak coupling, the low-energy theory has U(N) gauge symmetry and one observes the non-Abelian confinement of monopoles. As we reduce the average quark mass and enter the strong coupling regime the quark condensate transforms into the condensate of dyons. We show that the low energy description in the strongly-coupled domain for the original theory is given by U(N) dual gauge theory of N_f\geq 2N light non-Abelian dyons, where the condensed dyons still cause the confinement of monopoles, and not of the quarks, as can be thought by naive duality.

description: While the slope of the dust attenuation curve ($δ$) is found to correlate with effective dust attenuation ($A_V$) as obtained through spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, it remains unknown how the fitting degeneracies shape this relation. We examine the degeneracy effects by fitting SEDs of a sample of local star-forming galaxies (SFGs) selected from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey, in conjunction with mock galaxy SEDs of known attenuation parameters. A well-designed declining starburst star formation history is adopted to generate model SED templates with intrinsic UV slope ($β_0$) spanning over a reasonably wide range. The best-fitting $β_0$ for our sample SFGs shows a wide coverage, dramatically differing from the limited range of $β_0

Meridional Circulation During the Extended Solar Minimum: Another Component of the Torsional Oscillation?

description: We show here a component of the meridional circulation developing at medium-high latitudes (40-50 degrees) before the new solar cycle starts. Like the torsional oscillation of the zonal flows, this extra circulation seems to precede the onset of magnetic activity at the solar surface and move slowly towards lower latitudes. However, the behavior of this component differs from that of the torsional oscillation regarding location and convergence towards the equator at the end of the cycle. The observation of this component before the magnetic regions appear at the solar surface has only been possible due to the prolonged solar minimum. The results could settle the discussion as to whether the extra component of the meridional circulation around the activity belts, which has been known for some time, is or is not an effect of material motions around the active regions.

Relationship between Ca and H$α$ chromospheric emission in F-G-K stars: indication of stellar filaments?

description: Different relationships between the H$α$ and Ca II chromospheric emissions have been reported in solar-type stars. In particular, the time-series of emissions in these two lines are clearly anti-correlated for a few percent of the stars, contrary to what is observed on the Sun. Our objective is to characterise these relationships in more detail using complementary criteria, and to constrain the properties of filaments and plages that are necessary to explain the observations. We analysed the average level and variability of the H$α$ and Ca II emission for 441 F-G-K stars, paying particular attention to their (anti-)correlations on both short and long timescales. We also computed synthetic H$α$ and Ca II time-series for different assumptions of plage and filament properties and compared them with the observations. We were not able to find plage properties that, alone, are sufficient to reproduce the observations at all timescales simultaneously, even when allowing different H$α$ and Ca II emission relationships for different stars. We also specified the complex and surprising relationship between the average activity levels of both indexes, in particular for low-activity stars.We conclude that plages alone are unlikely to explain the observed variety of relationships between Ca II and H$α$ emission, and that the presence of other phenomena like filaments may help to reconcile the models with observations.

description: We consider the double-row (open) transfer matrix constructed from generic tensor-type representations of various types of Hecke algebras. For different choices of boundary conditions for the relevant integrable lattice model we express the double-row transfer matrix solely in terms of generators of the corresponding Hecke algebra (tensor-type realizations). We then expand the open transfer matrix and extract the associated Murphy elements from the first/last terms of the expansion. Suitable combinations of the Murphy elements as has been shown commute with the corresponding Hecke algebra.

Collisional fragmentation and bulk composition tracking in REBOUND

description: We present a fragmentation module and a composition tracking code for the $n$-body code REBOUND. Our fragmentation code utilises previous semi-analytic models and follows an implementation method similar to fragmentation for the $n$-body code MERCURY. In our $n$-body simulations with fragmentation, we decrease the collision and planet formation timescales by inflating the particle radii by an expansion factor $f$ and experiment with various values of $f$ to understand how expansion factors affect the collision history and final planetary system. As the expansion factor increases, so do the rate of mergers which produces planetary systems with more planets and planets at larger orbits. Additionally, we present a composition tracking code which follows the compositional change of homogeneous bodies as a function of mass exchange and use it to study how fragmentation and the use of an expansion factor affects volatile delivery to the inner terrestrial disc. We find that fragmentation enhances radial mixing relative to perfect merging and that on average, as $f$ increases so does the average water mass fraction of the planets. Radial mixing decreases with increasing $f$ as collisions happen early on, before the bodies have time to grow to excited orbits and move away from their original location

From the marginalia : a distinct Korean salute to the Xixiang ji and Jin Shengtan with divergent interpretations
Creators: name: Chang, Di
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This thesis examines two readings of Xixiang ji (Romance of the Western Chamber), a zaju play that emerged in the thirteenth century China and is attributed to Wang Dexin (1250-1337?, better known as Wang Shifu). It examines the construction of meaning through the reading practices of two readers, the Chinese commentator Jin Shengtan (1610?-1661) and an anonymous reader in late Chosŏn (1392–1897) Korea. The play was introduced to Chosŏn Korea in the early sixteenth century, and Jin Shengtan’s commentated edition was the most widespread there. This thesis aims to reconstruct the reading experiences of both Jin Shengtan, through his commentarial practices, and that of an anonymous Korean reader, through handwritten reading notes in Literary Sinitic. These marginalia were left in an anonymous manuscript Korean translation of Xixiang ji based on Jin Shengtan’s version of the play. By comparing the two interpretations, the thesis attempts to illustrate : 1) how meanings were constructed through individual reading practices; 2) the extent to which a reader’s interpretation of an original text would be consistent with a commentator’s reading and editorial practices; and 3) variations in the construction of meaning when texts travel across national borders and readership shifts from one interpretive community to another, that is, when readers are subject to differing cultural norms or discourses. The thesis finds that the efficacy of Jin Shengtan’s commentarial effort in prescribing the Korean reader’s reading practice was limited. Although the Korean reader appears to be heavily influenced by Jin’s commentary in his appreciation of the aesthetics of the play, his readings differ significantly from Jin’s concerning the play’s underlying morality, the identity of its heroine, its generic status, and the significance of its themes of dreaming and fantasy. On these points, social/cultural norms, and in particular divergences within Confucian philosophy were more consequential for the construction of meaning by the two readers, i.e., the rise of the Wang Yangming School of Heart-Mind Learning in late imperial China as opposed to the Cheng-Zhu School of Principle that was hegemonic in late Chosŏn Korea.
Thermoelectric phenomena in disordered open quantum systems

description: Using a stochastic quantum approach, we study thermoelectric transport phenomena at low temperatures in disordered electrical systems connected to external baths. We discuss three different models of one-dimensional disordered electrons, namely the Anderson model of random on-site energies, the random-dimer model and the random-hopping model - also relevant for random-spin models. We find that although the asymptotic behavior of transport in open systems is closely related to that in closed systems for these noninteracting models, the magnitude of thermoelectric transport strongly depends on the boundary conditions and the baths spectral properties. This shows the importance of employing theories of open quantum systems in the study of energy transport.
