Single-electron thermal devices coupled to a mesoscopic gate
Rafael Sánchez, Holger Thierschmann, Laurens W. Molenkamp
We theoretically investigate the propagation of heat currents in a three-terminal quantum dot engine. Electron-electron interactions introduce state-dependent processes which can b…

Three-Terminal Energy Harvester with Coupled Quantum Dots
Holger Thierschmann, Rafael Sánchez, Björn Sothmann +5
Rectification of thermal fluctuations in mesoscopic conductors is the key idea of today's attempts to build nanoscale thermoelectric energy harvesters in order to convert heat into…

Spatial conductivity mapping of unprotected and capped black phosphorus using microwave microscopy
Pieter J. de Visser, Rebekah Chua, Joshua O. Island +5
Thin layers of black phosphorus present an ideal combination of a 2D material with a tunable direct bandgap and high carrier mobility. However the material suffers from degradation…
