Charge fluctuations in nonlinear heat transport

Niklas M. Gergs, Christoph B. M. Hörig, Maarten R. Wegewijs, and Dirk Schuricht

Phys. Rev. B 91, 201107(R) (2015) - Published 26 May, 2015

In this study of non-equilibrium heat transport in quantum nanostructures as modeled by the Anderson impurity model, the authors show that monitoring the energy conductance as a function of gate or source-drain voltage can reveal the fingerprints of inelastic scattering processes in a way that the charge conductance does not.

Optimal control of Majorana zero modes

Torsten Karzig, Armin Rahmani, Felix von Oppen, and Gil Refael

Phys. Rev. B 91, 201404(R) (2015) - Published 11 May, 2015

Requirement of adiabaticity in the process of braiding of Majorana modes presents serious challenges to its practical implementation. The authors explore how to minimize nonadiabatic errors for finite braiding times by finding an optimal protocol for the Majorana movement. They show, counterintuitively, that protocols characterized by sharp transitions between Majorana motion at maximal and minimal velocities may do the trick.

Comparative study of ab initio nonradiative recombination rate calculations under different formalisms

Lin Shi, Ke Xu, and Lin-Wang Wang

Phys. Rev. B 91, 205315 (2015) - Published 27 May, 2015

Nonradiative deep level carrier trapping, also known as the Shockley-Read-Hall effect, is an old and important problem in semiconductor physics. Five different possible formalisms, which have given very different results for calculations of the capture coefficients, are compared here with each other and with extant experimental results for two complex defect structures: GaP:Zn $_{G a}$ -O $_{P}$ and GaN:Zn $_{G a}$ -V $_{N}$ . The static coupling theory is shown to be in the best agreement with experiment and arguments are provided for why it should be used in calculations of nonradiative carrier recombination.

Raman spectroscopy of electrochemically gated graphene transistors: Geometrical capacitance, electron-phonon, electron-electron, and electron-defect scattering

Guillaume Froehlicher and Stéphane Berciaud

Phys. Rev. B 91, 205413 (2015) - Published 12 May, 2015

This is a comprehensive Raman scattering study of electrochemically gated graphene transistors. A robust, highly accurate determination of the Fermi level, electron-phonon coupling, and defect scattering rates is achieved. Fermi energies as high as 700 meV above the Dirac point were achieved in ambient conditions, without damaging graphene. This opens exciting perspectives for optoelectronics.

Electron-photon coupling in mesoscopic quantum electrodynamics

A. Cottet, T. Kontos, and B. Douçot

Phys. Rev. B 91, 205417 (2015) - Published 13 May, 2015

Mesoscopic circuits can be coupled to microwave cavities to form hybrid light-matter systems. This emerging field represents an intermediate regime between standard cavity and circuit quantum electrodynamics. In this paper, the authors develop a general method based on a photonic pseudo-potential to describe the electric coupling between electrons in a nanocircuit and cavity photons.

Magnetic thermal switch for heat management at the nanoscale

Riccardo Bosisio, Stefano Valentini, Francesco Mazza, Giuliano Benenti, Rosario Fazio, Vittorio Giovannetti, and Fabio Taddei

Phys. Rev. B 91, 205420 (2015) - Published 14 May, 2015

The overheating of microprocessors components is currently the most limiting factor in the development of information technology. This motivates the concern in finding innovative ways to control and evacuate heat in nanoscale devices. In the presence of a magnetic field B, the heat currents flowing through a generic setup exhibit reversible and irreversible components: the former are reversed when inverting B→-B, whereas the latter remain unchanged. In this work the authors exploit this feature to propose a magnetic thermal switch: a setup which allows control of the heat flow by making use of an external magnetic field as a selector of a desired working configuration. Several features, like switching on/off, inversion, partition and swap of the heat currents, can be implemented in a programmable device allowing full controllability. Among the advantages of this approach are the absence of any temperature constraints and the possibility to control phononic, in addition to electronic, heat flows.
