Cyclical heat engines are a paradigm of classical thermodynamics, but are impractical for
miniaturization because they rely on moving parts. A more recent concept is particle …

We demonstrate high-temperature thermoelectric conversion in InAs/InP nanowire quantum
dots by taking advantage of their strong electronic confinement. The electrical conductance …

We study the thermoelectric properties and heat-to-work conversion performance of an
interacting, multilevel quantum dot (QD) weakly coupled to electronic reservoirs. We focus …

In the linear regime, thermoelectric effects between two conductors are possible only in the
presence of an explicit breaking of the electron-hole symmetry. We consider a tunnel …

Studies of thermally induced transport in nanostructures provide access to an exciting
regime where fluctuations are relevant, enabling the investigation of fundamental …

A. Svilans et al./CR Physique 17 (2016) 1096–1108 1097 est de disposer de méthodes pour
imposer des gradients thermiques aux échelles nanométriques. Nous rappelons brièvement …

This paper explores different mechanisms that induce thermal rectification in the nanoscale.
The presence of interacting energy channels combined with simple asymmetries is sufficient …

We theoretically investigate the propagation of heat currents in a three-terminal quantum dot
engine. Electron–electron interactions introduce state-dependent processes which can be …

Nous passons en revue les dévelopements récents relatifs au transport au travers de
nanostructures et de systèmes mésoscopiques, engendré par des combinaisons de …

QmeQ is an open-source Python package for numerical modeling of transport through
quantum dot devices with strong electron–electron interactions using various approximate …
