Effect of dissipative coupling on certain quantum phenomena and some models of electronic relaxation in nanoscale systems.

This seminar is divided into two parts, part I is concerned with the effect of dissipative coupling on Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux induced orbital diamagnetism, and some applications of Lindblad Master equation for the problems of quantum diffusion and dissipation. Part II is concerned with Two-Temperature Model of non-equilibrium electron relaxation in nanoscale systems.
