Sufficient conditions for thermal rectification in hybrid quantum structures
Lian-Ao Wu, Dvira Segal
We analytically identify sufficient conditions for manifesting thermal rectification in two-terminal hybrid structures within the quantum master equation formalism. We recognize tw…

Heat flux operator, current conservation and the formal Fourier's law
Lian-Ao Wu, Dvira Segal
By revisiting previous definitions of the heat current operator, we show that one can define a heat current operator that satisfies the continuity equation for a general Hamiltonia…
