Internal Geometric Friction in a Kitaev Chain Heat Engine
Elif Yunt, Mojde Fadaie, Özgür E. Müstecaplıoğlu +1
We investigate a heat engine with a finite-length Kitaev chain in an ideal Otto cycle. It is found that the critical point of the topological phase transition coincides with the ma…

Topological and Finite Size Effects in a Kitaev Chain Heat Engine
Elif Yunt, Mojde Fadaie, Özgür E. Müstecaplıoğlu
We investigate a heat engine with a finite length Kitaev chain in an Otto cycle. Finite size effects are taken into account using method of Hill's nano-thermodynamics as well as us…

Topological Phase Transition in Quantum Heat Engine Cycles
Mojde Fadaie, Elif Yunt, Özgür E. Müstecaplıoğlu
We explore signatures of a topological phase transition (TPT) in the work and efficiency of a quantum heat engine, which uses a single layer topological insulator, stanene, in an e…
