We studied the displacement of magnetic domains under temperature gradients in perpendicularly magnetized Ta/[Pt/Co$_{68}$B$_{32}$/Ir]$_{\times 10}$/Pt multilayer tracks with microfabricated Pt heaters/thermometers by magnetic force…
Theoretical analysis and fully atomistic molecular dynamics simulations reveal a Brownian ratchet mechanism by which thermal fluctuations drive the net displacement of immiscible liquids confined in channels or pores with micro- or…
We have fabricated bilayer-graphene double layers separated by a thin ($\sim$20 nm) boron nitride layer and performed Coulomb drag and counterflow thermoelectric transport measurements. The measured Coulomb drag resistivity is nearly three…
The nonlinear Seebeck effect, nonlinear conversion of a temperature gradient into an electric current, was observed at room temperature. Based on a second-harmonic lock-in method combined with an a.c. temperature gradient, $\nabla T$, we…
Lectures deal with the theory of electronic transport, in particular with the electrical conductivity, in systems dominated by strong electron-electron repulsion. The concept of charge stiffness is introduced to distinguish conductors and…
This paper investigates the thermoelectric properties of solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) containing lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) and sodium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (NaTFSI) salts, along with carbon-based…
The transport of molecules in confined media is subject to entropic barriers. So theoretically, asymmetry of the confinement length may lead to molecular ratchets with entropy as the only driving force for the biased transport. We address…
The two-dimensional electron liquid, at the (001) interface between band insulators {L}a{A}l{O}$_3$ and {S}r{T}i{O}$_3$, undergoes Lifshitz transition as the interface is doped with carriers. At a critical carrier density, two new orbitals…
We show how the formalism used for thermoelectric transport may be adapted to Smoluchowski's seminal thought experiment also known as Feynman's ratchet and pawl system. Our analysis rests on the notion of useful flux, which for a…
We examined the electrical transport properties of densified LaOBiS2-xSex, which constitutes a new family of thermoelectric materials. The power factor increased with increasing concentration of Se, i.e., Se substitution led to an enhanced…
We investigate thermoelectric transport through interfaces with inelastic scatterings by developing a quantum theory, which has been extensively validated by existing theories. We find that under temperature bias, while a two-terminal…
Magnetic ratchets -- two-dimensional systems with superimposed non-centrosymmetric ferromagnetic gratings -- are considered theoretically. It is demonstrated that excitation by radiation results in a directed motion of two-dimensional…
Molecular dynamics simulation is utilized to investigate the ionic transport of NaCl in solution through a graphene nanopore under an applied electric field. Results show the formation of concentration polarization layers in the vicinity of…
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…
We study the electric and thermoelectric transport properties of correlated quantum dots coupled to two ferromagnetic leads and one superconducting electrode. Transport through such hybrid devices depends on the interplay of…
We study the spin-Seebeck effect in a strongly interacting, two-component Fermi gas and propose an experiment to measure this effect by relatively displacing spin up and spin down atomic clouds in a trap using spin-dependent temperature…
In this paper, we use a fluid model to simulate the excitation of a hydrogen radio-frequency discharge, and employ tailored voltage waveforms to assess the effect of charged species transport properties. Results of the fluid simulation are…
Charge-carrier transport in a paradigmatic semicrystalline polymer semiconductor (P3HT) is important for both fundamental understanding and applications. In samples with enhanced structural disorder due to ad-hoc point defects, the mobility…
We present a detailed study of the charge transport, optical reflectivity, and thermal transport properties of n-type PbSe crystals. A strong scattering, mobility-limiting mechanism was revealed to be at play at temperatures above 500 K.…
Molten salts are important in a number of energy applications, but the fundamental mechanisms operating in ionic liquids are poorly understood, particularly at higher temperatures. This is despite their candidacy for deployment in solar…
