Optimisation of a three-terminal nonlinear heat nano-engine
New Journal of Physics, 2016 Charge and heat transport in nano-structures is dominated by non-equilibrium effects which strongly influence their behaviour. These effects are studied in a setup consisting of three external leads, one of which is considered as a heat reservoir and is ...

Thermoelectric effects in magnetic nanostructures
Physical Review B, 2009 We model and evaluate the Peltier and Seebeck effects in magnetic multilayer nanostructures by a finite-element theory of thermoelectric properties. We present analytical expressions for the thermopower and the current-induced temperature changes due to Peltier cooling/heating. The thermopower of a magnetic element is in general spin-polarized, leading

Feasibility of large-scale power plants based on thermoelectric effects
New Journal of Physics, 2014 Heat resources of small temperature difference are easily accessible, free and enormous on the Earth. Thermoelectric effects provide the technology for converting these heat resources directly into electricity.

Thermoelectric effects and topological insulators [PDF]
Chinese Physics B, 2016 The recent discovery of topological insulator (TI) offers new opportunities for the development of thermoelectrics, because many TIs (like Bi$_2$Te$_3$) are excellent thermoelectric (TE) materials. In this review, we will first describe the general TE properties of TIs and show that the coexistence of the bulk and boundary states in TIs introduces ...

Nonlinear thermoelectric effects in high-field superconductor-ferromagnet tunnel junctions
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 Background: Thermoelectric effects result from the coupling of charge and heat transport and can be used for thermometry, cooling and harvesting of thermal energy. The microscopic origin of thermoelectric effects is a broken electron–hole symmetry, which
