Enhanced thermoelectric coupling near electronic phase transition: the role of fluctuation Cooper pairs
Henni Ouerdane, Andrey A. Varlamov, Alexey V. Kavokin +2
Thermoelectric energy conversion is a direct but low-efficiency process, which precludes the development of long-awaited wide-scale applications. As a breakthrough permitting a dra…
Continuity and boundary conditions in thermodynamics: From Carnot's efficiency to efficiencies at maximum power
Henni Ouerdane, Yann Apertet, Christophe Goupil +1
[...] By the beginning of the 20th century, the principles of thermodynamics were summarized into the so-called four laws, which were, as it turns out, definitive negative answers…
Revisiting Feynman's ratchet with thermoelectric transport theory
Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1
We show how the formalism used for thermoelectric transport may be adapted to Smoluchowski's seminal thought experiment also known as Feynman's ratchet and pawl system. Our analysi…
