This review presents an overview of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. The
discussion is based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on …

In this review, we discuss the results of recent experimental studies of the low-temperature
electron dephasing time (τ ϕ) in metal and semiconductor mesoscopic structures. A major …

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 …

We calculate the heat transfer between electrons to acoustic and optical phonons in
monolayer and bilayer graphene (MLG and BLG) within the quasiequilibrium approximation …

The submillimetre or terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum contains
approximately half of the total luminosity of the Universe and 98% of all the photons emitted …

The discovery of hot-electron phenomena in a thin superconducting film in the last century
was followed by numerous experimental studies of its appearance in different materials …

Josephson junctions are a central element in superconducting quantum technology; in these
devices, irreversibility arises from abrupt slips of the quantum phase difference across the …

At low temperatures, the electron gas of graphene is expected to show both very weak
coupling to thermal baths and rapid thermalization, properties which are desirable for use as …

We present experimental measurements of the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) from
78–500 K across isolated heteroepitaxially grown ZnO films on GaN substrates. This data …

This paper reviews the state of rapidly emerging terahertz hot-electron nanobolometers
(nano-HEB), which are currently among of the most sensitive radiation power detectors at …
