Heat-to-charge conversion has traditionally been realized via the Seebeck effect in conductors and pyroelectricity in polar insulators. Here, we demonstrate that temperature gradients generate electrical polarization, namely…
We developed a novel contactless frequency-domain approach to study thermal transport, which is particularly convenient when thermally anisotropic materials are considered. The method is based on a similar line-shaped heater geometry as…
Anisotropic hybrid nanostructures stand out as promising therapeutic agents in photothermal conversion-based treatments. Accordingly, understanding local heat generation mediated by light-to-heat conversion of absorbing multicomponent…
The thermal entanglement of a two-qubit anisotropic Heisenberg $XYZ$ chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field b is studied. It is shown that when inhomogeneity is increased to certain value, the entanglement can exhibit a larger revival…
The anisotropic XXZ spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain is studied using renormalization-group theory. The specific heats and nearest-neighbor spin-spin correlations are calculated thoughout the entire temperature and anisotropy ranges in both…
We report the development of a technique to measure heat capacity at large uniaxial pressure using a piezoelectric-driven device generating compressive and tensile strain in the sample. Our setup is optimized for temperatures ranging from 8…
Since the thermal conduction equation has form invariance under coordinate transformation, one can design thermal metamaterials with novel functions by tailoring materials' thermal conductivities. In this work, we establish a different…
We explore the possibility to perform an in-situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) thermoelectric characterization of materials. A differential heating element on a custom in-situ TEM microchip allows to generate a temperature gradient…
We demonstrate that thermoelectric signal as well as dc Josephson current may be severely enhanced in multi-terminal superconducting hybrid nanostructures exposed to a temperature gradient. At temperatures $T$ strongly exceeding the…
In a grid-less Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) plasma thruster with a diverging magnetic nozzle, the magnitude of the ambipolar field accelerating the positive ions depends of the perpendicular energy gained by the electrons. This work…
Heat is a familiar form of energy transported from a hot side to a colder side of an object, but not a notion associated with microscopic measurements of electronic properties. A temperature difference within a material causes charge…
The free energy and correlation lengths of the spin-1/2 $XYZ$ chain are studied at finite temperature. We use the quantum transfer matrix approach and derive non-linear integral equations for all eigenvalues. Analytic results are presented…
We study the entanglement of a two-qubit one dimensional XYZ Heisenberg chain in thermal equilibrium at temperature T. We obtain an analytical expression for the entanglement of formation for this system in terms of the parameters of the…
We explore layered strongly correlated materials as a platform to identify and control unconventional heat transfer phenomena. We demonstrate that these systems can be tailored to sustain a wide spectrum of heat transport regimes, ranging…
This is a review of theoretical results from the three-dimensional equations of anisotropic elasticity or linear piezoelectricity on waves and vibrations in quartz crystal plates. It covers both the classical results on acoustic wave…
Piezoelectricity of some materials has shown to have many applications, in particular in energy harvesting. Due to the inherent hysteresis in the characteristic of such materials, a number of hysteretic models have been proposed minding the…
Interacting quantum systems illustrate complex phenomena including phase transitions to novel ordered phases. The universal nature of critical phenomena reduces their description to determining only the transition temperature and the…
This paper investigates the thermoelastic fracture response of a transversely isotropic piezoelectric strip containing a vertical insulated crack under transient thermal shock loading and pre-existing stress fields. The analysis is…
Research in spintronics often involves generation of heat in nanoscale magnetic systems. This heat generation can be intentional, as when studying effects created by an external applied temperature difference, or unintentional, coming as a…
Hexagonal metals have anisotropic coefficients of thermal expansion causing grain-level internal stresses during heating. High energy x-ray diffraction microscopy, a non-destructive, in situ, micromechanical and microstructural…
