Fundamental aspects of steady-state conversion of heat to work at the nanoscale

G Benenti, G Casati, K Saito, RS Whitney - Physics Reports, 2017 - Elsevier
In recent years, the study of heat to work conversion has been re-invigorated by
nanotechnology. Steady-state devices do this conversion without any macroscopic moving …

Colloquium: Heat flow and thermoelectricity in atomic and molecular junctions

Y Dubi, M Di Ventra - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems now allow for a better
understanding of one of the most basic issues in science and technology: the flow of heat at …

Anomalously low electronic thermal conductivity in metallic vanadium dioxide

S Lee, K Hippalgaonkar, F Yang, J Hong, C Ko, J Suh… - Science, 2017 - science.org
In electrically conductive solids, the Wiedemann-Franz law requires the electronic
contribution to thermal conductivity to be proportional to electrical conductivity. Violations of …

Hydrodynamics of weak integrability breaking

A Bastianello, A De Luca… - Journal of Statistical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent progress in understanding nearly integrable models within the framework
of generalized hydrodynamics (GHD). Integrable systems have infinitely many conserved …

Thermoelectric transport through strongly correlated quantum dots

TA Costi, V Zlatić - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and Materials …, 2010 - APS
The thermoelectric properties of strongly correlated quantum dots, described by a single-
level Anderson model coupled to conduction-electron leads, is investigated using Wilson's …

Non-Fermi liquids and the Wiedemann-Franz law

R Mahajan, M Barkeshli, SA Hartnoll - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter …, 2013 - APS
A general discussion of the ratio of thermal and electrical conductivities in non-Fermi liquid
metals is given. In metals with sharp Drude peaks, the relevant physics is correctly …

On the Lorenz number of multiband materials

M Thesberg, H Kosina, N Neophytou - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
There are many exotic scenarios where the Lorenz number of the Wiedemann-Franz law is
known to deviate from expected values. However, in conventional semiconductor systems, it …

Gross violation of the Wiedemann–Franz law in a quasi-one-dimensional conductor

N Wakeham, AF Bangura, X Xu, JF Mercure… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
When charge carriers are spatially confined to one dimension, conventional Fermi-liquid
theory breaks down. In such Tomonaga–Luttinger liquids, quasiparticles are replaced by …

Memory matrix theory of magnetotransport in strange metals

A Lucas, S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We model strange metals as quantum liquids without quasiparticle excitations, but with slow
momentum relaxation and with slow diffusive dynamics of a conserved charge and energy …

Transport near the Ising-nematic quantum critical point of metals in two dimensions

SA Hartnoll, R Mahajan, M Punk, S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We consider two-dimensional metals near a Pomeranchuk instability which breaks 90∘
lattice rotation symmetry. Such metals realize strongly coupled non-Fermi liquids with critical …
