We study ensembles of fermionic cold-atom quantum wires with tunable transverse mode population and single-wire resolution. From in situ density profiles, we determine the temperature of the atomic wires in the weakly interacting limit and…

Motivated by recent experiments [Lee et al. Nature 498, 209 (2013)], we present here a detailed theoretical analysis of the Joule heating in current-carrying single-molecule junctions. By combining the Landauer approach for quantum…

Superconducting interfaces have recently been demonstrated to contain a rich variety of effects that give rise to sizable thermoelectric responses and unexpected thermal properties, despite traditionally being considered poor…

In this work the long-wave limit of electron-electron interaction arising from the exchange of virtual phonons in an approximation close to "jelly" model is considered. It is shown that the interaction through the exchange of virtual…

The spectral conductivity, i.e., the electrical conductivity as a function of the Fermi energy, is a cornerstone in determining the thermoelectric transport properties of electrons. However, the spectral conductivity depends on…

Results of the measurements of thermoelectric properties of thin semiconductor microwires of Pb1-xTlxTe (x=0,001-0,02, d=5-100mkm) in the temperature region 4,2-300 K, which were obtained from solution melt by the filling of the quartz…

SnSe monolayers experience a temperature induced two-dimensional Pnm2$_1 \to$ P4/nmm structural transformation precipitated by the softening of vibrational modes. The standard theoretical treatment of thermoelectricity---which relies on a…

We demonstrate how redox control of intra-molecular quantum interference in phase-coherent molecular wires can be used to enhance the thermopower (Seebeck coefficient) S and thermoelectric figure of merit ZT of single molecules attached to…

Electron spectrum of 2D and 3D antiferromagnetic metals is calculated with account of spin-fluctuation corrections within perturbation theory in the s-f exchange model. Effects of the interaction of conduction electrons with spin waves in…

Using the strong temperature dependent resistance of a normal metal wire in proximity to a superconductor, we have been able to measure the local temperature of electrons heated by flowing a dc current in a metallic wire to within a few…

We present a many-body calculation for the conductance of a conducting bridge of a simple hydrogen molecule between $Pt$ electrodes.The experimental results showed that the conductance $G=dI/dV$ has the maximum value near the quantum unit…

We study nonlocal thermoelectricity in a superconducting wire subject to spin-orbit coupling and a magnetic field with a relative orientation $\theta$ between them. We calculate the current flowing in a normal probe attached to the bulk of…

Charge and heat transport through a single molecule tunnel-coupled to external normal electrodes have been studied. The molecule with sufficiently strong interaction between lectrons and vibrational internal degrees of freedom can be…

We study thermal and electrical transport in metals and superconductors near a quantum phase transition where antiferromagnetic order disappears. The same theory can also be applied to quantum phase transitions involving the loss of certain…

Thermal conduction force plays a crucial role in manipulating the local thermal conductivity of crystals. However, due to the diffusive nature of thermal conduction, investigating the force effect is challenging. Recently, researchers have…

A stability criterion is worked out for the superconducting phase. The validity of a prerequisite, established previously for persistent currents, is thereby confirmed. Temperature dependence is given for the specific heat and concentration…
