Powerful energy harvester based on resonant-tunneling quantum wells
Björn Sothmann, Rafael Sánchez, Andrew N. Jordan +1
We analyze a heat engine based on a hot cavity connected via quantum wells to electronic reservoirs. We discuss the output power as well as the efficiency both in the linear and no…
Fractional Josephson effect in a quadruple quantum dot
Björn Sothmann, Jian Li, Markus Büttiker
A double quantum dot coupled to an s-wave superconductor and subject to an inhomogeneous magnetic field can host a pair of zero-energy Majorana fermions when the dot properties are…
Hybrid Microwave-Cavity Heat Engine
Christian Bergenfeldt, Peter Samuelsson, Björn Sothmann +2
We propose and analyze the use of hybrid microwave cavities as quantum heat engines. A possible realization consists of two macroscopically separated quantum dot conductors coupled…
Correlations of heat and charge currents in quantum-dot thermoelectric engines
Rafael Sánchez, Björn Sothmann, Andrew N. Jordan +1
We analyze the noise properties of both electric charge and heat currents as well as their correlations in a quantum-dot based thermoelectric engine. The engine is a three-terminal…
Powerful and efficient energy harvester with resonant-tunneling quantum dots
Andrew N. Jordan, Björn Sothmann, Rafael Sánchez +1
We propose a nanoscale heat engine that utilizes the physics of resonant tunneling in quantum dots in order to transfer electrons only at specific energies. The nanoengine converts…
