  A self-consistent quantum-kinetic model is developed for studying
strong-field nonlinear electron transport interacting with force-driven phonons
within a quantum-wire system. For this model, phonons can be dragged into
motion through strong electron-phonon scattering by fast-moving electrons along
the opposite direction of the DC electric field. Meanwhile, the DC-field
induced charge current of electrons can be either enhanced or reduced by the
same electron-phonon scattering, depending on the relative direction of a DC
field with respect to that of an applied temperature gradient for driving
phonons. By making use of this quantum-kinetic model beyond the relaxation-time
approximation, neither electron nor phonon temperature is required for
describing ultrafast electron-phonon scattering and their correlated transports
in this 1D electronic-lattice system. onsistent quantum-kinetic model is
