We study thermal and charge transport in a three-terminal setup consisting of one superconducting and two ferromagnetic contacts. We predict that the simultaneous presence of spin filtering and of spin- dependent scattering phase shifts at…

Spin Currents in Tunnel Junctions for example induced by thermoelectric forces due to temperature and magnetization gradients etc. are analyzed. Using Onsager theory yields directly, in particular for magnetic tunnel junctions, metallic…

We discuss a consequence of time reversal symmetry on thermoelectric effect in nonequilibrium coherent quantum transport. Starting with a quantum version of the fluctuation theorem, we show that there exist universal relations between the…

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…

Symmetry relations are manifestations of fundamental principles and constitute cornerstones of modern physics. An example are the Onsager relations between coefficients connecting thermodynamic fluxes and forces, central to transport theory…

We provide a thermodynamically consistent description of energy, charge and spin transfers in a thermoelectric quantum-dot spin valve in the collinear configuration based on nonequilibrium Green's function and full counting statistics. We…

The first Kelvin relation that states the Peltier coefficient should be equal to the product of temperature and Seebeck coefficient is a fundamental principle in thermoelectricity. It has been regarded as an important application and direct…

The role of energy exchange between a quantum system and its environment is investigated from the perspective of the Onsager conductance matrix. We consider the thermoelectric linear transport of an interacting quantum dot coupled to two…

Thermoelectric effects in a double quantum dot system coupled to external magnetic/nonmagnetic leads are investigated theoretically. The basic thermoelectric transport characteristics, like thermopower, electronic contribution to heat…

Hamiltonian systems can be classified into ten classes, in terms of the presence or absence of time-reversal symmetry, particle-hole symmetry and sublattice/chiral symmetry. We construct a quantum coherent scattering theory of linear…

Onsager reciprocity $L_{ij}=L_{ji}$ is a cornerstone of near-equilibrium thermodynamics derived from microscopic time-reversal symmetry. We develop a geometric framework in which entropy-weighted reparameterization of thermodynamic response…

Kelvin's relations may be considered as cornerstones in the theory of thermoelectricity. Indeed, they gather together the three thermoelectric effects, associated respectively with Seebeck, Peltier and Thomson, to get a unique and…

We investigate the Thomson-Onsager relation between the spin-dependent Seebeck and spin-dependent Peltier effect. To maintain identical device and measurement conditions we measure both effects in a single…

We develop an exact quantum thermodynamic description for a noninteracting nanoscale steady state that couples strongly with multiple reservoirs. It is demonstrated that there exists a steady-state extension of the thermodynamic function…

It has recently been proposed and experimentally demonstrated that it is possible to generate large thermoelectric effects in ferromagnet/superconductor structures due to a spin-dependent particle-hole asymmetry. Here, we theoretically show…

The thermoelectric properties of a three-terminal quantum Hall conductor are investigated. We identify a contribution to the thermoelectric response that relies on the chirality of the carrier motion rather than on spatial asymmetries. The…

We present Onsager formalism applied to random networks with arbitrary degree distribution. Using the well-known methods of non-equilibrium thermodynamics we identify thermodynamic forces and their conjugated flows induced in networks as a…

We present a mesoscopic model for thermoelectric phenomena in terms of an interacting particle system, a lattice electron gas dynamics that is a suitable extension of the standard simple exclusion process. We concentrate on electronic heat…

We derive a linear thermodynamics theory for general Markov dynamics with both steady-state and time-periodic drivings. Expressions for thermodynamic quantities, such as mechanical and chemical work, heat and entropy production are obtained…

We present a general thermodynamic theory that describes phases and phase transitions of ferromagnetic superconductors with spin-triplet electron Cooper pairing. The theory is based on extended Ginzburg-Landau expansion in powers of…
