Charge transfer is a fundamental process that underlies a multitude of phenomena in chemistry and biology. Recent advances in observing and manipulating charge and heat transport at the nanoscale, and recently developed techniques for…
We develop a theory of heat transfer induced by thermal charge fluctuations in two-dimensional electron double layers. We consider pristine systems comprised of identical layers, and focus on the regime of sufficiently high temperatures and…
Steady-state advective accretion flows in the presence of thermal conduction are studied. All three components of velocity in a spherical coordinates are considered and the flow displays both inflowing and outflowing regions according to…
We have generalized the scattering-matrix theory of multiple Andreev reflections in mesoscopic Josephson junctions to the multi-mode case, and applied it to short superconductor/normal metal/superconductor junctions with diffusive electron…
We analyze the short-time behavior of the heat and charge currents through nanoscale conductors exposed to a temperature gradient. To this end, we employ Luttinger's thermomechanical potential to simulate a sudden change of temperature at…
We study tunneling spectroscopy of discrete subgap Andreev states in a superconducting system. If the tunneling coupling is weak, individual levels are resolved and the conductance $G(V)$ at small temperatures is composed of a set of…
Particle transport across Josephson junctions is commonly described using a simplifying approximation (often called the Andreev approximation), which assumes that excitations are fixed at the Fermi momentum and only Andreev reflections,…
We consider the scenario of thermal transport through two types of Andreev quantum dots which are coupled to two leads, belonging to the Class D and Class C symmetry classes. Using the random matrix description we derive the joint…
An incoming electron is reflected back as a hole at a normal-metal-superconductor interface, a process known as Andreev reflection. We predict that there exists a universal transverse shift in this process due to the effect of spin-orbit…
The dynamics of a superconducting quantum point contact biased at subgap voltages is shown to be strongly affected by a microwave electromagnetic field. Interference among a sequence of temporally localized, microwave-induced Landau-Zener…
We have investigated transport through graphene Andreev interferometers exhibiting reentrance of the superconducting proximity effect. We observed a crossover in the Andreev conductance oscillations as a function of gate voltage ($V_{BG}$).…
We develop the theory of hydrodynamic charge and heat transport in strongly interacting quasi-relativistic systems on manifolds with inhomogeneous spatial curvature. In solid-state physics, this is analogous to strain disorder in the…
We analyze closed one-dimensional chains of weakly coupled many level systems, by means of the so-called Hilbert space average method (HAM). Subject to some concrete conditions on the Hamiltonian of the system, our theory predicts energy…
We derive the full distribution of transmitted particles through a superconducting point contact of arbitrary transparency under voltage bias. The charge transport is dominated by multiple Andreev reflections. The counting statistics is a…
Heat generated in gallium nitride (GaN) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) is often concentrated in nanoscale regions and must dissipate through multiple heterostructures. However, the influence of non-uniform heat sources on the…
Several models of the electronic spectrum in the pseudogap state of underdoped cuprates have been proposed to explain ARPES and STM measurements, which reveal only truncated Fermi pockets instead of a full metallic Fermi surface. We…
We report low-temperature measurements of the electrical transport properties of few-atom contacts of the superconducting metal zinc, arranged with lithographically fabricated mechanically controllable breakjunctions (MCB). The conductance…
We investigate phase-coherent thermal transport in Josephson junctions made from unconventional superconductors or superfluids. The thermal conductance is evaluated for one- and two-dimensional junctions within the Bogoliubov-de Gennes…
There has been much interest in semiconductor superlattices because of showing very low thermal conductivities. This makes them especially suitable for applications in a variety of devices for thermoelectric generation of energy, heat…
We develop a theory of charge transport along the quantum Hall edge proximitized by a "dirty" superconductor. Disorder randomizes the Andreev reflection rendering the conductance of a proximitized segment a stochastic quantity with zero…
