We present experiments on a superconductor–normal-metal electron refrigerator in a regime where single-electron charging effects are significant. The system functions as a heat …
Static electric fields have a negligible influence on the electric and transport properties of a metal because of the screening effect. This belief was extended to conventional metallic …
A superconductor/normal metal/superconductor Josephson junction is a coherent electron system where the thermodynamic entropy depends on temperature and difference of phase …
We propose a quantum heat engine based on an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer in a two- terminal geometry and investigate its thermoelectric performances in the linear response …
The controlled tailoring of the energy distribution in an electron system opens the way to interesting new physics and device concepts, as demonstrated by research on metallic …

We demonstrate experimentally the manipulation of supercurrent in Al-AlO x-Ti Josephson tunnel junctions by injecting quasiparticles in a Ti island from two additional tunnel-coupled …
Electronic cooling in hybrid normal-metal–insulator–superconductor junctions is a promising technology for the manipulation of thermal loads in solid-state nanosystems. One of the main …
Superconducting interferometers are quantum devices able to transduce a magnetic flux into an electrical output with excellent sensitivity, integrability, and power consumption. Yet, their …
