We discuss a quantum thermal machine that generates power from a thermally driven
double quantum dot coupled to normal and superconducting reservoirs. Energy exchange …

Studies of thermally induced transport in nanostructures provide access to an exciting

Three-terminal coherent conductors are able to perform as quantum thermocouples when
the heat absorbed from one terminal is transformed into useful power in the other two …

We study nonlinear transport effects on the maximum efficiency and power for both inelastic
and elastic thermoelectric generators. The former device refers to phonon-assisted hopping …

In this article we review the thermoelectric properties of three terminal devices with Coulomb-
coupled quantum dots (QDs) as observed in recent experiments [1],[2]. The system we …

We investigate the thermoelectric response of a coherent conductor in contact with a
scanning probe. Coupling to the probe has the dual effect of allowing for the controlled local …

We propose a near-field inelastic thermoelectric heat engine where quantum dots are used
to effectively rectify the charge flow of photocarriers. The device converts near-field heat …

We study three-terminal thermoelectric transport in a two-dimensional Quantum Point
Contact (QPC) connected to left and right electronic reservoirs, as well as a third one …

The density of states of proximitized normal nanowires interrupting superconducting rings
can be tuned by the magnetic flux piercing the loop. Using these as the contacts of a single …
