Non-Linear Thermovoltage in a Single-Electron Transistor
Paolo A. Erdman, Joonas T. Peltonen, Bibek Bhandari +5
We perform direct thermovoltage measurements in a single-electron transistor, using on-chip local thermometers, both in the linear and non-linear regimes. Using a model which accou…
Maximum power and corresponding efficiency for two-level heat engines and refrigerators: optimality of fast cycles
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Vasco Cavina, Rosario Fazio +2
We study how to achieve the ultimate power in the simplest, yet non trivial, model of a thermal machine, namely a two-level quantum system coupled to two thermal baths. Without mak…
Direct measurement of the Seebeck coefficient in a Kondo-correlated single-quantum-dot transistor
B. Dutta, D. Majidi, A. Garcia Corral +5
We report on the first measurement of the Seebeck coefficient in a tunnel-contacted and gate-tunable individual single-quantum dot junction in the Kondo regime, fabricated using th…
Optimal probabilistic work extraction beyond the free energy difference with a single-electron device
Olivier Maillet, Paolo A. Erdman, Vasco Cavina +8
We experimentally realize protocols that allow to extract work beyond the free energy difference from a single electron transistor at the single thermodynamic trajectory level. Wit…
Absorption refrigerators based on Coulomb-coupled single-electron systems
Paolo Andrea Erdman, Bibek Bhandari, Rosario Fazio +2
We analyze a simple implementation of an absorption refrigerator, a system that requires heat and not work to achieve refrigeration, based on two Coulomb coupled single-electron sy…
Thermal drag in electronic conductors
Bibek Bhandari, Giuliano Chiriacò, Paolo A. Erdman +2
We study the electronic thermal drag in two different Coulomb-coupled systems, the first one composed of two Coulomb blockaded metallic islands and the second one consisting of two…
