Emergence of the 2nd Law in an Exactly Solvable Model of a Quantum Wire
Marco A. Jimenez-Valencia, Charles A. Stafford
As remarked by Boltzmann, the Second Law of Thermodynamics is notable for the fact that it is readily proved using elementary statistical arguments, but becomes harder and harder t…

Persistent versus dissipative Peltier effect in a topological quantum thermocouple
Marco A. Jimenez-Valencia, Yiheng Xu, Charles A. Stafford
The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect on the thermoelectric properties of three-terminal quantum devices is investigated. Thermodynamic relations among the linear-response coefficients of…
