Recent experiments, at room temperature, have shown that near-field radiative heat transfer
(NFRHT) via surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) exceeds the blackbody limit by several …

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are expected to play a significant role in the ongoing
second quantum revolution, thanks to their stability and scalability. Still, major upgrades are …

Based on full quantum-transport simulations, we report a comprehensive study of the
evaporative cooling process in a double-barrier semiconductor heterostructure thermionic …

The importance and non-trivial properties of superconductor normal metal interfaces were
discovered by Alexander Fyodorovich Andreev more than 60 years ago. Only much later …

Recent experimental results showed that an electron gas in an asymmetrical double barrier
heterostructure can be effectively cooled down under resonant tunneling condition, thus …

Replacing the bulky cryoliquid-based cooling stages of cryoenabled instruments by chip-
scale refrigeration is envisioned to disruptively reduce the system size similar to …

The scalability of the quantum processor technology is elemental in reaching fault-tolerant
quantum computing. Owing to the maturity of silicon microelectronics, quantum bits (qubits) …

Due to their structured density of states, molecular junctions provide rich resources to filter
and control the flow of electrons and phonons. Here we compute the out of equilibrium …

We investigate evaporative electron cooling in cascading semiconductor double-quantum-
well (QW) structures. In this cascading double QW structure (QW1 and QW2, where QW2 is …

We demonstrate highly transparent silicon–vanadium and silicon–aluminum tunnel
junctions with relatively low sub-gap leakage current and discuss how a trade-off typically …
