  1. 1. Quantum-Dot Heat Engines

    Författare :Martin Josefsson; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; quantum dot; heat engine; thermoelectric; quantum thermodynamics; quantum transport; Fysicumarkivet A:2020:Josefsson;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the possibilities of using quantum dots (QDs) in nanoscale energy har- vesters converting heat into electrical energy, i.e. heat engines. From a theory perspective, these possibilities have been investigated for almost two decades, and interest in them seem to continuously increase over time. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Fluctuations and nonequilibrium thermodynamics in electronic nanosystems

    Författare :Ludovico Tesser; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Charge; heat and spin transport; Hot-carrier solar cell; Nonequilibrium thermodynamics; Fluctuations and noise; Shot noise; Mesoscopic thermoelectricity;

    Sammanfattning : In the last decades thermodynamics has seen a resurgence because of the interesting phenomena that happen in small-scale systems. Indeed, in nanoscale devices, quantum effects and fluctuations cannot generally be neglected and influence both the transport and their thermodynamic performance. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Heat control in mesoscopic conductors - exploiting quantum effects and size confinement

    Författare :Fatemeh Hajiloo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heat currents; thermoelectric devices; nonequilibrium thermodynamics.; fluctuations; phase-dependent heat transport;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with a theoretical analysis of heat currents, their exploitation and their control in nanoscale devices. The motivation for this study is twofold. (i) The development of nanoscale devices sets up the basis of many applications ranging from nanoelectronics to quantum technology. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Dynamics of Magnetic Molecules under Electrical Control

    Författare :Henning Hammar; Jonas Fransson; Annica M. Black-Schaffer; Alexander Shnirman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular magnets; Spin dynamics; Non-adiabatic effects; Exchange interaction; Thermoelectricity; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis theoretically studies the dynamics of molecular magnets under electrical control. Molecular magnets are nanoscale magnets that can, e.g., consist of single-molecules or single-atoms. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Transport in nanowire-based quantum dot systems: Heating electrons and confining holes

    Författare :Sven Dorsch; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanowire; Quantum dot; double quantum dot; Thermoelectric effect; Phonon-assisted transport; GaSb; g-factor; Fysicumarkivet A:2022:Dorsch;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum dots embedded in an electronic circuit allow precise control over the charge transport behaviour of the system: Charge carriers can be individually trapped or precisely shuffled between a series of quantum dots in a strictly sequential manner. This introduces ideal conditions to study fundamental quantum physics and such devices are in the focus of extensive efforts to develop quantum information related applications. LÄS MER
