We demonstrate enhanced Peltier cooling at the nanoscale using geometrical constriction.
This nozzle structure leads to electron expansion under an applied bias, which in turn …

An attempt to include the Pauli principle in the Monte Carlo method by also acting on the
free-flight step and not only at the end of each collision is investigated. The charge transport …
