The Kubo formula for the electrical conductivity is rewritten in terms of a sum of Drude-like contributions associated to the exact eigenstates of the interacting system, each characterized by its own frequency-dependent relaxation time. The structure of the novel and equivalent formulation, weighting the contribution from each eigenstate by its Boltzmann occupation factor, simplifies considerably the access to the static properties (dc conductivity) and resolves the long standing difficulties to recover the Boltzmann result for dc conductivity from the Kubo formula. It is shown that the Boltzmann result, containing the correct transport scattering time instead of the electron lifetime determined by the Green function, can be recovered in problems with elastic and inelastic scattering at the lowest order of interaction.

Linear response theory plays a prominent role in various fields of physics and provides us with extensive information about the thermodynamics and dynamics of quantum and classical systems. Here we develop a general theory for the linear response in
non-Hermitian systems with non-unitary dynamics and derive a modified Kubo formula for the generalized susceptibility for arbitrary (Hermitian and non-Hermitian) system and perturbation. As an application, we evaluate the dynamical response of a non-Hermitian, one-dimensional Dirac model with imaginary and real masses, perturbed by a time-dependent electric field. The model has a rich phase diagram, and in particular, features a tachyon phase, where excitations travel faster than an effective speed of light. Surprisingly, we find that the dc conductivity of tachyons is finite, and the optical sum rule is exactly satisfied for all masses. Our results highlight the peculiar properties of the Kubo formula for non-Hermitian systems and are applicable for a large variety of settings.
The Smrcka-Streda version of Kubos linear response formula is widely used in the literature to compute non-equilibrium transport properties of heterostructures. It is particularly useful for the evaluation of intrinsic transport properties associated
with the Berry curvature of the Bloch states, such as anomalous and spin Hall currents as well as the damping-like component of the spin-orbit torque. Here, we demonstrate in a very general way that the widely used decomposition of the Kubo-Bastin formula introduced by Smrcka and Streda contains an overlap, which has lead to widespread confusion in the literature regarding the Fermi surface and Fermi sea contributions. To remedy this pathology, we propose a new decomposition of the Kubo-Bastin formula based on the permutation properties of the correlation function and derive a new set of formulas, without an overlap, that provides direct access to the transport effects of interest. We apply these new formulas to selected cases and demonstrate that the Fermi sea and Fermi surface contributions can be uniquely addressed with our symmetrized approach.
Starting from two case histories, where only after thorough Failure Analysis the suddenly appearance of a failure was linked to much earlier events, the possibility of improving the reliability and of adjusting the reliability prediction tools are discussed.
The structure of the electronic nonlinear optical conductivity is elucidated in a detailed study of the time-reversal symmetric two-band model. The nonlinear conductivity is decomposed as a sum of contributions related with different regions of the F
irst Brillouin Zone, defined by single or multiphoton resonances. All contributions are written in terms of the same integrals, which contain all information specific to the particular model under study. In this way, ready-to-use formulas are provided that reduce the often tedious calculations of the second and third order optical conductivity to the evaluation of a small set of similar integrals. In the scenario where charge carriers are present prior to optical excitation, Fermi surface contributions must also be considered and are shown to have an universal frequency dependence, tunable by doping. General characteristics are made evident in this type of resonance-based analysis: the existence of step functions that determine the chemical potential dependence of electron-hole symmetric insulators; the determination of the imaginary part by Hilbert transforms, simpler than those of the nonlinear Kramers-Kr{o}nig relations; the absence of Drude peaks in the diagonal elements of the second order conductivity, among others. As examples, analytical expressions are derived for the nonlinear conductivities of some simple systems: a very basic model of direct gap semiconductors and the Dirac fermions of monolayer graphene.
We have found that CeCd$_{3}$P$_{3}$ crystallizes into a hexagonal ScAl$_{3}$C$_{3}$-type structure. The optical, transport and magnetic properties of CeCd$_{3}$P$_{3}$ were investigated by measuring the diffuse reflectance, electrical resistivity an
d magnetization. CeCd$_{3}$P$_{3}$ is a semiconductor with the fundamental band gap of approximately 0.75 eV. The 4$f$ electrons of Ce$^{3+}$ ions are well localized but do not show long range order down to 0.48 K, presumably due to the geometrical frustration of Ce atoms. The magnetic ordering temperature is possibly lower than that of isostructural CeZn$_{3}$P$_{3}$ (0.75 K). Because several $f$-electron compounds with the ScAl$_{3}$C$_{3}$-type structure are quantum spin systems, CeCd$_{3}$P$_{3}$ may be a candidate of quantum spin liquid. On the other hand, the relatively large band gap compared to approximately 0.4 eV in CeZn$_{3}$P$_{3}$, would not be intimate with the observation of photoinduced Kondo effect, providing a potentially new range of applications of devices based on the Kondo effect.
