Strong nonlinear thermoelectricity generation and close-to-Carnot efficient heat engines in Superconductor-Insulator-2D electron gas junctions
Leonardo Lucchesi, Federico Paolucci
We propose and theoretically analyse a novel Superconductor-Insulator-2D electron gas tunnel junction (SI2DEG) that strongly and efficiently generates thermoelectricity via a nonli…
Graphene-Insulator-Superconductor junctions as thermoelectric bolometers
Leonardo Lucchesi, Federico Paolucci
We design a superconducting thermoelectric bolometer made of a Graphene-Insulator-Superconductor tunnel junction. Our detector has the advantage of being passive, as it directly tr…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Out-of-equilibrium nonlinear model of thermoelectricity in superconducting tunnel junctions
Leonardo Lucchesi, Federico Paolucci
Thermoelectricity in superconducting tunnel junctions has always been studied under the hypothesis of equilibrium between the cold side and the thermal bath, usually in the linear…
The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Brian Ramsey, Jeffery Kolodziejczak, Wayne Baumgartner +27
Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window…
