We investigate the nonlinear regime of charge and energy transport through Coulomb-blockaded quantum dots. We discuss crossed effects that arise when electrons move in response to thermal gradients (Seebeck effect) or energy flows in…
A definition of topological phases of density matrices is presented. The topological invariants in case of both noninteracting and interacting systems are extended to nonzero temperatures. Influence of electron interactions on topological…
We demonstrate that the interaction of dc temperature gradient with ac magnetic field in temperature-biased two-dimensional electron systems leads to formation of a new electromagnetic mode, a two-dimensional thermomagnetic wave (2d TMW).…
The thermoelectric properties of quantum dot arrays (QDAs) embedded in nanowires connected to electrodes are studied theoretically in the Coulomb blockade regime. A Hurbbard-Anderson model is used to simulate the electronic contribution to…
We study a system composed of a quantum dot in contact with ferromagnetic leads, held at different temperatures. Spin analogues to the thermopower and thermoelectric figures of merit are defined and studied as a function of junction…
We theoretically study the electronic structure and spin properties of one-dimensional nanostructures of the prototypical bulk topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$. Realistic models of experimentally observed Bi$_2$Se$_3$ nanowires and…
The usually negligibly small thermoelectric effects in superconducting heterostructures can be boosted dramatically due to the simultaneous effect of spin splitting and spin filtering. Building on an idea of our earlier work [Phys. Rev.…
Several useful thermodynamic relations are derived for metal-insulator transitions, as generalizations of the Clausius-Clapeyron and Eherenfest theorems. These relations hold in any spatial dimensions and at any temperatures. First, they…
We theoretically studied the effect of the perpendicular electric field on the thermoelectric properties of the intrinsic, n-type and p-type bismuth telluride nanowires with the growth direction [110]. The electronic structure and the wave…
The Seebeck coefficient, which is proportional to a ratio of the thermoelectric conductivity to electrical conductivity has been examined for Dirac electrons in the organic conductor $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$I$_3$ [BEDT-TTF denotes a molecule…
We propose theoretically a new effect, i.e. nonlinear planar Nernst effect (NPNE), in nonmagnetic topological insulator (TI) Bi2Te3 in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We find that the Nernst current scales quadratically with…
Higher-dimensional topological phases play a key role in understanding the lower-dimensional topological phases and the related topological responses through a dimensional reduction procedure. In this work, we present a Dirac-type model of…
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…
Chern number is a crucial invariant for characterizing topological feature of two-dimensional quantum systems. Real-space Chern number allows us to extract topological properties of systems without involving translational symmetry, and…
We study the finite temperature properties of two-component fermionic atoms trapped in a two-dimensional optical lattice. We apply the self-energy functional approach to the two-dimensional Hubbard model with a harmonic trapping potential,…
Weyl semimetals expand research on topologically protected transport by adding bulk Berry monopoles with linearly dispersing electronic states and topologically robust, gapless surface Fermi arcs terminating on bulk node projections. Here,…
Transverse thermoelectric power generation has emerged as a topic of immense interest in recent years owing to the orthogonal geometry which enables better scalability and fabrication of devices. Here, we investigate the thickness…
The thermopower of a Kondo-correlated gate-defined quantum dot is studied using a current heating technique. In the presence of spin correlations the thermopower shows a clear deviation from the semiclassical Mott relation between…
We construct and solve numerically the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations for the spin-anisotropic two-channel Kondo model in arbitrary external field $h$. At high temperatures the specific heat and the susceptibility show power law…
We reveal that three-dimensional multi-orbital topological superconductivity can be identified by a bulk measurement, i.e., the temperature dependence of nuclear magnetic relaxation (NMR) rates. Below a critical temperature $T_{\rm c}$, the…
