Interplay of electron and phonon channels in the refrigeration through molecular junctions
Fatemeh Tabatabaei, Samy Merabia, Bernd Gotsmann +2
Due to their structured density of states, molecular junctions provide rich resources to filter and control the flow of electrons and phonons. Here we compute the out of equilibriu…
Will molecules ever sit at the thermoelectric table?
Andrea Gemma, Bernd Gotsmann
Molecular junctions comprise small molecules on the order of one or a few nanometers in length, chemically attached to two electrodes of metal or semiconductors. They have recently…
Sondheimer oscillations as a probe of non-ohmic flow in type-II Weyl semimetal WP
Maarten R. van Delft, Yaxian Wang, Carsten Putzke +13
As conductors in electronic applications shrink, microscopic conduction processes lead to strong deviations from Ohm's law. Depending on the length scales of momentum conserving ($…
Imaging the Thermalization of Hot Carriers After Thermionic Emission Over a Polytype Barrier
Fabian Könemann, I-Ju Chen, Sebastian Lehmann +2
The thermalization of non-equilibrium charge carriers is at the heart of thermoelectric energy conversion. In nanoscale systems, the equilibration length can be on the order of the…
Quantized thermal conductance in metallic heterojunctions
Nico Mosso, Alyssa Prasmusinto, Andrea Gemma +3
To develop next-generation electronics and high efficiency energy-harvesting devices, it is crucial to understand how charge and heat are transported at the nanoscale. Metallic ato…
Heat transport through atomic contacts
Nico Mosso, Ute Drechsler, Fabian Menges +4
Metallic atomic junctions pose the ultimate limit to the scaling of electrical contacts. They serve as model systems to probe electrical and thermal transport down to the atomic le…
