Thermodynamic uncertainty relations for multi-terminal systems with broken time-reversal symmetry
Yanchao Zhang, Xinzhi Liu, Xiaolong Lü +1
We investigate the thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) in steady-state transport for a multi-terminal system consisting of two conducting terminals and N-2 probe terminals,…

Hot-carrier photocatalysts with energy-selective contacts based on quantum wells and dots
Shuanglong Han, Zhiqiang Fan, Ousi Pan +5
In this paper, we simulate the function of hot-carrier photocatalysts (HCPCs) with quantum well and quantum dot energy-selective contacts (ESCs) in the water-splitting reaction. Th…

The effect of space charge on photon-enhanced thermionic emission in the presence of the bidirectional discharge
Xinqiao Lin, Ousi Pan, Zhimin Yang +3
The bidirectional space charge effects in photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE) devices are investigated systematically. First, we precisely determine the carrier concentratio…
