Accurately heat flow distribution based on a triple quantum dot

Abstract

We theoretically propose a simple setup based on a three terminal triple quantum dot in the Coulomb blockade regime as a heat flow allocator to spatially separate heat flows along two different channels at arbitrary proportion. We show that a constant output heat flow ratio can be obtained in a wide range of system parameters and any ratio of the output heat flow, whether it is an integer ratio or a fractional ratio, can be obtained by directly adjusting the ratio of the energy-dependent tunneling rate.
