摘要:

我们证明了被绝缘层隔开的两个电路之间的库仑相互作用导致了非常规的热电效应,如热流冷却效应、横向热电效应和麦克斯韦妖效应。第一种是指一个回路中的冷却由另一个回路中的热流引起。中间部分表示一个电路中的电功率通过另一电路中的温度梯度产生。首先对两个回路中各有一个量子点的情况进行了演示,然后对两个回路中各有两个量子点的情况进行了详细说明。在后一种情况下,两个回路之间的热交换可以消失。最后,我们还证明了在四端量子点热电系统中可以实现Maxwell 'sDemon效应,即量子系统从高温热浴中吸收热量,并将相同的热量释放到低温热浴中,两个热浴之间没有任何能量交换。我们的研究揭示了库仑相互作用在非局域四端热电输运中的作用。

英文摘要:

We show that the Coulomb interaction between two circuits separated by an insulating layer leads to unconventional thermoelectric effects, such as the cooling by thermal current effect, the transverse thermoelectric effect and Maxwell's demon effect. The first refers to cooling in one circuit induced by the thermal current in the other circuit. The middle represents electric power generation in one circuit by the temperature gradient in the other circuit. The physical picture of Coulomb drag between the two circuits is first demonstrated for the case with one quantum dot in each circuits and then elaborated for the case with two quantum dots in each circuits. In the latter case, the heat exchange between the two circuits can vanish. Last, we also show that the Maxwell's demon effect can be realized in the four-terminal quantum dot thermoelectric system, in which the quantum system absorbs the heat from the high-temperature heat bath and releases the same heat to the low-temperature heat bath without any energy exchange with the two heat baths. Our study reveals the role of Coulomb interaction in non-local four-terminal thermoelectric transport.
