Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems now allow for a better
understanding of one of the most basic issues in science and technology: the flow of heat at …

In this Colloquium recent advances in the field of quantum heat transport are reviewed. This
topic has been investigated theoretically for several decades, but only during the past 20 …

Thermal transport in individual atomic junctions and chains is of great fundamental interest
because of the distinctive quantum effects expected to arise in them. By using novel, custom …

The quantum of thermal conductance of ballistic (collisionless) one-dimensional channels is
a unique fundamental constant. Although the quantization of the electrical conductance of …

In this colloquia review we discuss methods for thermal transport calculations for
nanojunctions connected to two semi-infinite leads served as heat-baths. Our emphases are …

Quantum physics predicts that there is a fundamental maximum heat conductance across a
single transport channel and that this thermal conductance quantum, GQ, is universal …

Heat transport and dissipation at the nanoscale severely limit the scaling of high-
performance electronic devices and circuits 1. Metallic atomic junctions serve as model …

Using Cartan's differential 1-forms theory, and assuming that the motion variables depend
on Euclidean invariants, certain dynamics of the material point and systems of material …

The integer quantised conductance of one-dimensional electron systems is a well-
understood effect of quantum confinement. A number of fractionally quantised plateaus are …

We report on combined measurements of heat and charge transport through a single-
electron transistor. The device acts as a heat switch actuated by the voltage applied on the …
