Electron transport and dissipation in<br />
nanoscale devices<br />

We present a quantum-kinetic scheme for the calculation of non-equilibrium transport properties<br />
in nanoscale systems. Our approach is based on a time-dependent Kohn-Sham master equation for<br />
the reduced electronic density operator and represents a generalization of the well-known Boltzmann<br />
kinetic equation. The approach allows us, in particular, to model transport situations under high<br />
applied fields by adopting periodic boundary conditions. Applications to nanoscale devices and<br />
molecular structures are discussed<br />
