In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

Traditional studies that combine spintronics and superconductivity have mainly focused on
the injection of spin-polarized quasiparticles into superconducting materials. However, a …

During the past 15 years a new field has emerged, which combines superconductivity and
spintronics, with the goal to pave a way for new types of devices for applications combining …

The study of thermoelectric materials spans condensed matter physics, materials science
and engineering, and solid-state chemistry. The diversity of the participants and the inherent …

This Colloquium discusses the recent progress in understanding the properties of spin-split
superconductors under nonequilibrium conditions. Recent experiments and theories …

Diodes are key elements for electronics, optics, and detection. Their evolution towards low
dissipation electronics has seen the hybridization with superconductors and the realization …

Thermoelectric effects in metals are typically small due to the nearly perfect particle–hole
symmetry around their Fermi surface. Furthermore, thermo-phase effects and linear …

Focused electron beam induced deposition (FEBID) is a direct-write nanofabrication
technique able to pattern three-dimensional magnetic nanostructures at resolutions …

A ferromagnetic insulator (FI) attached to a conventional superconductor (S) changes
drastically the properties of the latter. Specifically, the exchange field at the FI/S interface …

Ferromagnetism and conventional singlet superconductivity can be regarded as competing
ordering phenomena. A considerable body of theoretical work over the past twenty years …
