In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

Miniaturization of electronic devices aims at manufacturing ever smaller products, from
mesoscopic to nanoscopic sizes. This trend is challenging because the increased levels of …

Applying a temperature gradient in a magnetic material generates a voltage that is
perpendicular to both the heat flow and the magnetization. This phenomenon is the …

We review recent theoretical work on thermoelectric energy harvesting in multi-terminal
quantum-dot setups. We first discuss several examples of nanoscale heat engines based on …

Rectification of thermal fluctuations in mesoscopic conductors is the key idea behind recent
attempts to build nanoscale thermoelectric energy harvesters to convert heat into useful …

We introduce a general framework for analyzing the thermodynamics of small systems that
are driven by both a periodic temperature variation and some external parameter …

Nonequilibrium effects may have a profound impact on the performance of thermal devices
performing thermodynamic tasks such as refrigeration or heat pum**. The possibility of …

For thermoelectric transport in the presence of a magnetic field that breaks time-reversal
symmetry, a strong bound on the Onsager coefficients is derived within a general setup …

We study the photon-to-meson transition form factors (TFFs) FM γ (Q 2) for γ γ*→ M using
light-front holographic methods. The Chern-Simons action, which is a natural form in five …

We derive general relations between the maximum power, maximum efficiency, and
minimum dissipation regimes from linear irreversible thermodynamics. The relations simplify …
