The outstanding transport properties expected at the edge of two-dimensional time-reversal invariant topological insulators have proven to be challenging to realize experimentally, and have so far only been demonstrated in very short…
In this paper we investigate the spin-resolved thermoelectric properties of strongly correlated molecular junctions in the linear response regime. The magnetic molecule is modeled by a single orbital level to which the molecular core spin…
Recent theory predicted that the Quantum Spin Hall Effect, a fundamentally novel quantum state of matter that exists at zero external magnetic field, may be realized in HgTe/(Hg,Cd)Te quantum wells. We have fabricated such sample structures…
We present a study of the magnetic field-dependent thermal transport in the spin S=1 chain material Ni(C2H8N2)2NO2(ClO4) (NENP). The measured thermal conductivity is found to be very sensitive to the field-induced changes in the spin…
We study the real-time dynamics of spin chains driven out of thermal equilibrium by an initial temperature gradient T_L \neq T_R using density matrix renormalization group methods. We demonstrate that the nonequilibrium energy current…
We propose experimental protocols to reveal thermoelectric and thermal effects in the transport properties of ultracold fermionic atoms, using the two-terminal setup recently realized at ETH. We show in particular that, for two reservoirs…
Within the spinor Boltzmann equation (SBE) formalism, we derived a temperature dependent thermal spin-orbit torque based on local equilibrium assumption in a system with Rashba spin-orbit interaction. If we expand the distribution function…
An easy-plane ferromagnetic insulator in a uniform external magnetic field and in contact with a phonon bath and a normal metal bath is studied theoretically in the presence of dc spin current injection via the spin Hall effect in the…
Using wave function matching approach and employing the Landauer-Buttiker formula a ferromagnetic graphene junction with a temperature gradient across the system, is studied. We calculate the thermally induced charge and spin current as…
The thermoelectric response of 80-nm-thick strained HgTe films of a three-dimensional topological insulator (3D TI) has been studied experimentally. An ambipolar thermopower is observed where the Fermi energy moves from conducting to the…
We discuss out-of-equilibrium population imbalances between different orbital states due to applied thermal gradients. This purely thermoelectric orbital effect appears quite generically in nanostructures with a pseudospin degree of…
We study the transverse spin-Seebeck effect (SSE) on the surface of a three-dimensional topological insulator (TI) thin film, such as Bi$_2$Se$_3$, which is sandwiched between two normal metal leads. The temperature bias $\Delta T$ applied…
We present the theory of nonzero temperature ($T$) spin dynamics and transport in one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets with an energy gap $\Delta$. For $T << \Delta$, we develop a semiclassical picture of thermally excited particles.…
We investigate the ballistic zitterbewegung dynamics and the Landau-Zener tunneling between edge and bulk states of wave packets in two-dimensional topological insulators. In bulk, we use the Ehrenfest theorem to show that an external…
We investigate transverse magnetic heat transport on the surface of a topological insulator on which a ferromagnet is attached. We present general expressions of the Nernst coefficient and the thermal Hall conductivity, which are reduced to…
We investigate spin transport by thermally excited spin waves in an antiferromagnetic insulator. Starting from a stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenology, we obtain the out-of-equilibrium spin-wave properties. In linear response to…
Topological nodal-line semimetals are always characterized by the drumhead surface states at the open boundaries. In this paper we first derive an analytical expression for the surface Green's function of a nodal-line semimetal. By making…
I consider the non-equilibrium DC transport of electrons through a quantum system with a thermoelectric response. This system may be any nanostructure or molecule modeled by the nonlinear scattering theory which includes Hartree-like…
In valleytronic devices, the valley transport of electrons can carry not only charge but also spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). However, investigations on thermoelectric transport of OAM manipulated by valley…
We present a comprehensive study of the temperature (T) dependence of the longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) in Pt/EuO_{1-x} and Pt/La2NiMnO6 (LNMO) hybrid structures across their Curie temperatures (Tc). Both systems host…
