We analyze heat and charge transport through a single-level quantum dot coupled to two BCS superconductors at different temperatures to first order in the tunnel coupling. In order to describe the system theoretically, we extend a real-time…

We present systematic theoretical results on thermoelectric effects in semimetals based on the variational method of the linearized Boltzmann equation. Inelastic electron-hole scattering is known to play an important role in the unusual…

We study heat transport across individual grain boundaries in suspended monolayer graphene using extensive classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. We construct bicrystalline graphene samples containing grain boundaries with symmetric…

Evaporative mass flux is governed by interfacial state of liquid and vapor phases. For closely similar pressures and mass fluxes of liquid water into its own vapor, discontinuity between interfacial liquid and vapor temperatures in the…

The Seebeck coefficient is examined for two-dimensional Dirac electrons in the three-quarter filled organic conductor alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3 under hydrostatic pressure, where the Seebeck coefficient is proportional to the ratio of the…

At the nanoscale, the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) and thermal conductivity are not intrinsic properties of interfaces or materials but depend on the nearby environment. However, most studies focused on single interfaces or…

Phonon modes and their dispersion relations in ultrathin homogenous dielectric membranes are calculated using elasticity theory. The approach differs from the previous ones by a rigorous account of the effect of the film surfaces on the…

Organic semiconductors have attracted increasing interest as thermoelectric converters in recent years due to their intrinsically low thermal conductivity compared to inorganic materials. This boom has led to encouraging practical results,…

We theoretically study the nonequilibrium thermoelectric transport properties of a strongly-correlated molecule (or quantum dot) embedded in a tunnel junction. Assuming that the coupling of the molecule to the contacts is asymmetric, we…

We study the thermal transport in magnetic tunnel junctions. Thermal gradients across the tunneling barrier appear around the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling regime, due to the current-induced heat caused by quantum interference. Both…

Several models of thermionic energy nanoconverters have been proposed to study the transport phenomena that take place in electronic devices. For example, in resonant tunneling junctions those phenomena are manifested through the…

A new method for calculating the critical point parameters (density, temperature, pressure and electrical conductivity) and binodal of vapor-liquid (dielectric-metal) phase transition is proposed. It is based on the assumption that…

We study the conductivity of two-dimensional graphene-type materials with tilted cones as well as their three-dimensional Weyl counterparts and show that a covariant quantum Boltzmann equation is capable of providing an accurate description…

We have determined the thermal conductance of a system consisting of a two-level atom coupled to two quantum harmonic oscillators in contact with heat reservoirs at distinct temperatures. The calculation of the heat flux as well as the…

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…

We report on the direct observation of the thermoelectric transport in a nondegenerate correlated electron system formed on the surface of liquid helium. We find that the microwave-induced excitation of the vertical transitions of electrons…

We study charge and heat transport from first-principles in the topological Weyl semimetal TaAs. Electron-phonon coupling matrix elements are calculated using density functional perturbation theory and used to derive the thermo-electric…

This review presents a thermodynamic perspective on quantum coupled transport processes in nanoscale systems. Our analysis is formulated within the framework of entropy production rate, the central quantity governing non-equilibrium…

-We have performed a new efficient method to calculate numerically the transport coefficients at high temperature. The collision theory was treated to study singularities that occur when evaluating the collision cross section. The transport…

We calculate the finite temperature and non-equilibrium electric current through systems described generically at low energy by a singlet and \emph{two} spin doublets for $N$ and $N \pm 1$ electrons respectively, coupled asymmetrically to…
