  3. Outline We consider the HEAT CURRENT between thermal reservoirs consisting of finite number of modes mediated by a quantum system - expression for the quasi-static heat current; - time dependencies of mode temperatures; - validity of Fourier’s law for a chain of finite identical subsystems

  4. Heat Transport T1 > T2 T2 QS Δ Heat current

  5. Total Hamiltonian ν

  6. Drude-Ullersma Model Δ Δ is the (finite) mode spacing in a heat bath -“Heisenberg time” is a characteristic (microscopic) time for establishing the steady state current

  7. Energy Balance Rate of energy change in the νth heat reservoir: where - is the work the quantum system performs on the νth bath per unit of time or the heat current

  8. where Ensemble Averaging , we allow (slow) temperature variations for each mode of both reservoirs:.

  15. Conclusions • We considered size effects onheat transport between (finite size) thermal • reservoirs mediated by a quantum particle. As a result of this study, • - We derived, solved, and analyzed equations for the quasi-static energy current and • reservoirs’ mode temperatures; - as is shown, temporal behavior of the reservoirs’ mode temperatures demonstrates peculiarities at tn = 2πn/Δ, where an integer n > 0; - quasi-static heat current vanishes non-monotonically demonstrating peculiarities at the same time moments tn. - Fourier’s law in a chain of identical subsystems (nanoparticles) is correct only on a short time scale but cannot be validated for a time scale t ~ 1/Δ
