Quantum point contacts as heat engines
Sebastian Pilgram, David Sanchez, Rosa Lopez
The efficiency of macroscopic heat engines is restricted by the second law of thermodynamics. They can reach at most the efficiency of a Carnot engine. In contrast, heat currents i…
Aspects of metallic low-temperature transport in Mott-insulator/ band-insulator superlattices: optical conductivity and thermoelectricity
Andreas Ruegg, Sebastian Pilgram, Manfred Sigrist
We investigate the low-temperature electrical and thermal transport properties in atomically precise metallic heterostructures involving strongly-correlated electron systems. The m…
Strongly renormalized quasi-two-dimensional electron gas in a heterostructure with correlation effects
Andreas Rüegg, Sebastian Pilgram, Manfred Sigrist
We present aspects of strong electron correlation in a model of a BI/M/BI heterostructure where BI is a band insulator and M can be tuned from a metal to a Mott insulator by varyin…
Voltage and dephasing probes: a full counting statistics discussion
Heidi Forster, Peter Samuelsson, Sebastian Pilgram +1
Voltage and dephasing probes introduce incoherent inelastic and incoherent quasi-elastic scattering into a coherent mesoscopic conductor. We discuss in detail the concepts of volta…
Role of Inelastic Tunneling through the Barrier in Scanning Tunneling Microscope Experiments on Cuprates
S. Pilgram, T. M. Rice, M. Sigrist
The tunneling path between the CuO2-layers in cuprate superconductors and a scanning tunneling microscope tip passes through a barrier made from other oxide layers. This opens up t…
Full counting statistics for voltage and dephasing probes
S. Pilgram, P. Samuelsson, H. Forster +1
We present a stochastic path integral method to calculate the full counting statistics of conductors with energy conserving dephasing probes and dissipative voltage probes. The app…
