Break-junctions (BJs) enable a pair of atomic-sized electrodes to be created and the relative
position between them to be controlled with sub-nanometer accuracy by mechanical means …

Focus of the review is on experimental set-ups and theoretical proposals aimed to enhance
thermoelectric performances of molecular junctions. In addition to charge conductance, the …

In this paper, we investigate the thermoelectric performance of a double-dot device driven by
time-dependently modulated gate voltages. We show that if the modulation frequency Ω is …

The increasing worldwide energy consumption calls for the design of more efficient energy
systems. Thermoelectrics could be used to convert waste heat back to useful electric energy …

We introduce a real time version of the functional renormalization group, which allows us to
study correlation effects on nonequilibrium transport through quantum dots. Our method is …

We study geometric energy transport in a slowly driven single-level quantum dot weakly
coupled to electronic contacts and with strong on-site interaction, which can be either …

Using analytical arguments and the numerical renormalization group method, we investigate
the spin thermopower of a quantum dot in a magnetic field. In the particle-hole-symmetric …

The transport across a Kondo-correlated quantum dot coupled to two leads with
independent temperatures and chemical potentials is studied using a controlled …

Thermoelectric effects in transport through a quantum dot coupled to external ferromagnetic
leads are investigated theoretically. The basic thermoelectric transport characteristics, such …

Based on numerical renormalization group calculations, we demonstrate that experimentally
realized double quantum dots constitute a minimal thermoelectric generator. In the Kondo …
