Theory of single-electron heat engines coupled to electromagnetic environments
Tomi Ruokola, Teemu Ojanen
We introduce a new class of mesoscopic heat engines consisting of a tunnel junction coupled to a linear thermal bath. Work is produced by transporting electrons up against a voltag…
Single-electron heat diode
Tomi Ruokola, Teemu Ojanen
We introduce a new functional nanoscale device, a single-electron heat diode, consisting of two quantum dots or metallic islands coupled to electronic reservoirs by tunnel contacts…
Thermal conductance in a spin-boson model: Cotunneling and low temperature properties
Tomi Ruokola, Teemu Ojanen
Bosonic thermal transport through a two-level system is analyzed at temperatures below and comparable to the two-level energy splitting. It is shown that in the low-temperature reg…
Thermal rectification in nonlinear quantum circuits
Tomi Ruokola, Teemu Ojanen, Antti-Pekka Jauho
We present a theoretical study of radiative heat transport in nonlinear solid-state quantum circuits. We give a detailed account of heat rectification effects, i.e. the asymmetry o…
