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 …

The electron transport of different conical valleys is investigated in graphene with extended
line defects. Intriguingly, the electron with a definite incident angle can be completely …

We theoretically study the heat generation in a quantum dot (QD) connected simultaneously
to two reservoirs and a local phonon bath. We find that driven solely by an external thermal …

It is widely accepted that both backscattering and dissipation cannot occur in topological
systems because of the topological protection. Here we show that thermal dissipation can …

To analyze heat generation in a quantum dot coupled to normal leads and subject to an ac
field, a formula is derived for the heat generated Q using the nonequilibrium Keldysh …

On the basis of the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green's function technique, we study the current-
induced heat generation Q in a quantum dot (QD) taking both a bias voltage and a rotating …

Electron-vibration interactions in current-carrying nanodevices have been known to induce
local heating and nonthermal vibration statistics simultaneously, while theoretical studies so …

We theoretically study the heat generation induced by the electric current in a quantum dot
coupled to a normal and a superconducting lead with weak dot-leads coupling. We find that …

We study theoretically the properties of local heat originated from energy exchange between
electrons passing through a quantum dot (QD) coupled to a phonon bath. The dot is …

We theoretically investigate thermoelectric effects in a quantum dot system under the
influence of a linearly polarized photon field confined to a 3D cavity. A temperature gradient …
