In some metals containing a sub-lattice of rare earth or actinide ions, free local $f$ spins at high temperatures dissolve into the sea of quantum conduction electrons at low temperatures, where they become mobile excitations. Once mobile,…
A three-terminal device based on a two-dimensional electron system is investigated in the regime of non-equilibrium transport. Excited electrons scatter with the cold Fermi sea and transfer energy and momentum to other electrons. A geometry…

Thermal emission is the process by which all objects at non-zero temperatures emit light, and is well-described by the classic Planck, Kirchhoff, and Stefan-Boltzmann laws. For most solids, the thermally emitted power increases…
We calculate the energy of a single fermion interacting resonantly with a Fermi sea of different-species fermions in asymmetric traps, and show that finite particle numbers and the trap geometry impact the phase structure and the critical…

An isolated single-junction solar cell's temperature in outer space depends only on its radiation exchange with its environment. We consider a cell with zero emissivity below its bandgap and unity above it -- an idealization so far…
Free-running Fabry-Perot lasers normally operate in a single-mode regime until the pumping current is increased beyond the single-mode instability threshold, above which they evolve into a multimode state. As a result of this instability,…

We investigate the temperature-driven quantum-to-classical crossover in a single-electron emitter. The emitter is composed of a quantum conductor and an electrode, which is coupled via an Ohmic contact. At zero temperature, it has been…
We examine and explain the spatial emission patterns of ultracold excited fermions in anisotropic trapping potentials in the presence of a spin polarised Fermi sea of ground state atoms. Due to the Pauli principle, the Fermi sea modifies…
Shell effects in the coordinate space can be seen with degenerate Fermi vapors in non-uniform trapping potentials. In particular, below the Fermi temperature, the density profile of a Fermi gas in a confining harmonic potential is…

The equation of state of a dilute two-component asymmetric Fermi gas at unitarity is subject to strong constraints, which affect the spatial density profiles in atomic traps. These constraints require the existence of at least one…
In recent years, much attention has been paid to the development of techniques which transfer trapped particles to very low temperatures. Here we focus our attention on a heating mechanism which contributes to the finite temperature limit…
The correct use of energy-dependent single-particle level (s.p.l.) densities within particle-hole state densities based on the equidistant spacing model (ESM) is analysed. First, an analytical expression is obtained following the…
We develop a general theory of Fermi polarons at nonzero temperature, including particle-hole excitations of the Fermi sea shake-up to arbitrarily high orders. The exact set of equations of the spectral function is derived by using both…

In the study of thermalization in finite isolated quantum systems, an inescapable issue is the definition of temperature. We examine and compare different possible ways of assigning temperatures to energies or equivalently to eigenstates in…
