Quantum shape oscillations in the thermodynamic properties of confined electrons in core-shell nanostructures
Alhun Aydin, Jonas Fransson, Altug Sisman
Quantum shape effect appears under the size-invariant shape transformations of strongly confined structures. Such a transformation distinctively influences the thermodynamic proper…
Thermodefect voltage in graphene nanoribbon junctions
Alhun Aydin, Altug Sisman, Jonas Fransson +2
Thermoelectric junctions are often made of components of different materials characterized by distinct transport properties. Single material junctions, with the same type of charge…
Thermoshape effect for energy harvesting with nanostructures
Altug Sisman, Alhun Aydin, Jonas Fransson
We propose a mechanism for nanoscale energy conversion, an electric voltage induced by a temperature gradient in a junction composed of the same material having exactly the same ge…
Thermosize voltage induced in a ballistic graphene nanoribbon junction
Alhun Aydin, Jonas Fransson, Altug Sisman
A thermoelectric voltage is induced in a junction, constituted of two dissimilar materials under a temperature gradient. Similarly, a thermosize voltage is expected to be induced i…
Quantum shape effects and novel thermodynamic behaviors at nanoscale
Alhun Aydin, Altug Sisman
Thermodynamic properties of confined systems depend on sizes of the confinement domain due to quantum nature of particles. Here we show that shape also enters as a control paramete…
Thermosize potential in semiconductors
Sevan Karabetoglu, Altug Sisman
A thermosize junction consists of two different sized structures made by the same material. Classical and quantum thermosize effects (CTSE and QTSE), which are opposite to each oth…
