We determine the temperature profile in magnetic nanocontacts submitted to the very large current densities that are commonly used for spin-torque oscillator behavior. Experimentally, the quadratic current-induced increase of the resistance…
Joule heating is a non-equilibrium dissipative process that occurs in a normal metal when an electric current flows, in an amount proportional to the metal's resistance. When it is induced by eddy currents resulting from a change in…
We report first-principles calculations of local heating in nanoscale junctions formed by a single molecule and a gold point contact. Due to a larger heat dissipation, the single molecule heats up less than the gold point contact. We also…
We investigate the role of local heating and forces on ions in the stability of current-carrying aluminum wires. We find that heating increases with wire length due to a red shift of the frequency spectrum. Nevertheless, the local…
The transition from the ballistic electron transport to the diffuse one is experimentally observed in the study of the magnetic phase transition in Ni nanocontacts with different sizes. It is shown that the voltage $U_C$ needed for Joule…
We present 2D simulations of the cooling of neutron stars with strong magnetic fields (B \geq 10^{13} G). We solve the diffusion equation in axial symmetry including the state of the art microphysics that controls the cooling such as…
Sufficiently large electric current applied to metallic nanostructures can bring them far out-of-equilibrium, resulting in non-Ohmic behaviors characterized by current-dependent resistance. We experimentally demonstrate a linear dependence…
In the search of material properties out-of-equilibrium, the non-equilibrium steady states induced by electric current are an appealing research direction where unconventional states may emerge. However, the unavoidable Joule heating caused…
The mathematical model describing the dynamics of closed contact heating which involves vaporization of the metal when instantaneous explosion of micro-asperity occurs is presented through a Stefan type problem. The temperature field for…
We study the effect of localized Joule heating on the mechanical properties of doubly clamped nanowires under tensile stress. Local heating results in systematic variation of the resonant frequency; these frequency changes result from…
Spin-transfer torques in a nanocontact to an extended magnetic film can create spin waves that condense to form dissipative droplet solitons. Here we report an experimental study of the temperature dependence of the current and applied…
We investigate the heat current of a strongly interacting quantum dot in the presence of a voltage bias in the Kondo regime. Using the slave- boson mean-field theory, we discuss the behavior of the energy flow and the Joule heating. We find…
Thermoelectric manipulation of the magnetization of a magnetic layered stack in which a low-Curie temperature magnet is sandwiched between two strong magnets (exchange spring device) is considered. Controllable Joule heating produced by a…
In information technology devices, current-driven state switching is crucial in various disciplines including spintronics, where the contribution of heating to the switching mechanism plays an inevitable role. Recently, current-driven…
We study current-induced vibrational cooling, heating, and instability in a donor-acceptor rectifying molecular junction using a full counting statistics approach. In our model, electron-hole pair excitations are coupled to a given…
The electron current density in nanoscale junctions is typically several orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding one in bulk electrodes. Consequently, the electron-electron scattering rate increases substantially in the junction.…
We perform an analytical investigation of the bifurcation from static to traveling current density filaments in a bistable semiconductor structure with S-shaped current-voltage characteristic. Joule self-heating of a semiconductor structure…
We present a qualitative model study of energy and temperature dependence of hot electron magnetotransport. This model calculations are based on a simple argument that the inelastic scattering strength of hot electrons is strongly spin and…
When non-collinear spin textures are driven by current, an emergent electric field arises due to the emergent electromagnetic induction. So far, this phenomenon has been reported in several materials, manifesting the current-nonlinear…
Magnetoquantum oscillations of resistance as functions of the potential difference applied across the contact are studied for metallic point contacts made of $Al$ and $Be$. The amplitude of resistance oscillations in a magnetic field…
