Nonlocal thermoelectric detection of interaction and correlations in edge states
arXiv:2307.09410 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevResearch.6.L012049
Abstract
We investigate nonequilibrium effects in the transport of interacting electrons in quantum conductors, proposing the nonlocal thermoelectric response as a direct indicator of the presence of interactions, nonthermal states and the effect of correlations. This is done by assuming a quantum Hall setup where two channels (connected to reservoirs at different temperatures) co-propagate for a finite distance, such that a thermoelectrical response is only expected if the electron-electron interaction mediates heat exchange between the channels. This way, the nonlocal Seebeck response measures the interaction strength. Considering zero-range interactions, we solve the charge and energy currents and noises of a non-equilibrium integrable interacting system, determining the universal interaction-dependent length scale of energy equilibration. Further, a setup with two controllable quantum point contacts allows thermoelectricity to monitor the interacting system thermalisation as well as the fundamental role of cross-correlations in the heat exchange at intermediate length scales.
