Influence of thermal environment on optimal working conditions of thermoelectric generators
Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1
Optimization analyses of thermoelectric generators operation is of importance both for practical applications and theoretical considerations. Depending on the desired goal, two dif…

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…

Comment on "Heat dissipation in atomic-scale junctions"
Y. Apertet, H. Ouerdane, C. Goupil +1
We discuss the recent results of Lee et al. [Nature 498, 209 (2013)] using the notion of thermoelectric convection. In particular, we highlight the fact that this contribution to t…
