A Single-Molecule Quantum Heat Engine
Serhii Volosheniuk, Riccardo Conte, Eugenia Pyurbeeva +6
Particle-exchange heat engines operate without moving parts or time-dependent driving, relying solely on static energy-selective transport. Here, we realize a particle-exchange qua…
Electronic measurements of entropy in meso- and nanoscale systems
Eugenia Pyurbeeva, Jan A. Mol, Pascal Gehring
Entropy is one of the most fundamental quantities in physics. For systems with few degrees of freedom, the value of entropy provides a powerful insight into its microscopic dynamic…
Controlling the entropy of a single-molecule junction
Eugenia Pyurbeeva, Chunwei Hsu, David Vogel +5
Single molecules are nanoscale thermodynamic systems with few degrees of freedom. Thus, the knowledge of their entropy can reveal the presence of microscopic electron transfer dyna…
Electric-field-driven conductance switching in encapsulated graphene nanogaps
E. Pyurbeeva, J. L. Swett, Q. Ye +2
Feedback-controlled electric breakdown of graphene in air or vacuum is a well-established way of fabricating tunnel junctions, nanogaps, and quantum dots. We show that the method i…
A thermodynamic approach to measuring entropy in a few-electron nanodevice
E. Pyurbeeva, J. A. Mol
The entropy of a system gives a powerful insight into its microscopic degrees of freedom, however standard experimental ways of measuring entropy through heat capacity are hard to…
