Mesoscopic routers and single-pole double-throw switches for electronic heat
José Balduque, Rafael Sánchez
The unavoidable dissipation of heat in electronic nanostructures is a crucial problem, specially when their operation requires low temperatures. It demands finding devices able to…
Fluctuation-dissipation bounds for time-dependently driven conductors
Ludovico Tesser, José Balduque, Janine Splettstoesser
We analyze the noise in a multi-terminal multi-channel conductor under arbitrary time-dependent driving and subject to -- possibly large -- static potential and temperature biases.…
Quantum thermocouples: nonlocal conversion and control of heat in nanostructures
José Balduque, Rafael Sánchez
Nanoscale conductors are interesting for thermoelectrics because of their particular spectral features connecting separated heat and particle currents. Multiterminal devices in the…
Scattering theory of thermal and bipolar thermoelectric diodes
José Balduque, Rafael Sánchez
We investigate the minimal requirements that induce a nonreciprocal response to temperature differences in a mesoscopic electronic conductor. We identify two distinct mechanisms in…
Thermal junctions controlled with Aharonov-Bohm phases
José Balduque, Adrián Mecha, Rafael Sánchez
Unlike charge, heat flows are difficult to control. We show that, in mesoscopic conductors, electronic thermal currents can be manipulated with a magnetic field by using the Aharon…
