A superconductor with a gap in the density of states or a quantum dot with discrete energy
levels is a central building block in realizing an electronic on-chip cooler. They can work as …

Controlling thermal transport has become relevant in recent years. Traditionally, this control
has been achieved by tuning the scattering of phonons by including various types of …

improvements in technology and application of thermoelectric energy with a specific …

We present a simple on-chip electronic thermometer with the potential to operate down to 1
mK. It is based on transport through a single normal-metal–superconductor tunnel junction …

Bolometers for balloon and space missions have seen extensive development because of
their capacity to test primordial conditions of the Universe. The major improvements consist …

Thermo-electric transport at the nano-scale is a rapidly developing topic, in particular in
superconductor-based hybrid devices. In this review paper, we first discuss the fundamental …

A laminated single-layer graphene is demonstrated as a cathode for organic photovoltaic
devices. The measured properties indicate that graphene offers two potential advantages …

We investigate the electrical and thermal transport properties of the α− T3 based normal
metal–insulator–superconductor (NIS) junction using Blonder–Tinkham–Klapwijk theory. We …

We demonstrate electronic cooling of 1D phonon modes in suspended nanowires for the
first time, using normal-metal-insulator-superconductor (NIS) tunnel junctions. Simultaneous …
