Quantum Thermal Rectification to design thermal diodes and transistors
arXiv:1609.05163 · doi:10.1515/zna-2016-0350
Abstract
We study in this article how heat can be exchanged between two level systems (TLS) each of them being coupled to a thermal reservoir. Calculation are performed solving a master equation for the density matrix using the Born markov-approximation. We analyse the conditions for which a thermal diode and a thermal transistor can be obtained as well as their optimization.
