Scanning probe-induced thermoelectrics in a quantum point contact
Geneviève Fleury, Cosimo Gorini, Rafael Sánchez
We study three-terminal thermoelectric transport in a two-dimensional Quantum Point Contact (QPC) connected to left and right electronic reservoirs, as well as a third one represen…
Extrinsic thermoelectric response of coherent conductors
Rafael Sánchez, Cosimo Gorini, Geneviève Fleury
We investigate the thermoelectric response of a coherent conductor in contact with a scanning probe. Coupling to the probe has the dual effect of allowing for the controlled local…
Hybrid Thermal Machines: Generalized Thermodynamic Resources for Multitasking
Gonzalo Manzano, Rafael Sánchez, Ralph Silva +4
Thermal machines perform useful tasks--such as producing work, cooling, or heating--by exchanging energy, and possibly additional conserved quantities such as particles, with reser…
Quantifying nonequlibrium thermodynamic operations in a multiterminal mesoscopic system
Fatemeh Hajiloo, Rafael Sánchez, Robert S. Whitney +1
We investigate a multiterminal mesoscopic conductor in the quantum Hall regime, subject to temperature and voltage biases. The device can be considered as a nonequilibrium resource…
Autonomous conversion of information to work in quantum dots
Rafael Sánchez, Peter Samuelsson, Patrick P. Potts
We consider an autonomous implementation of Maxwell's demon in a quantum dot architecture. As in the original thought experiment, only the second law of thermodynamics is seemingly…
Reversible thermal diode and energy harvester with a superconducting quantum interference single-electron transistor
Donald Goury, Rafael Sánchez
The density of states of proximitized normal nanowires interrupting superconducting rings can be tuned by the magnetic flux piercing the loop. Using these as the contacts of a sing…
