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 …

Stochastic thermodynamics as reviewed here systematically provides a framework for
extending the notions of classical thermodynamics such as work, heat and entropy …

The efficiency of a thermal engine working in the linear response regime in a multi-terminal
configuration is discussed. For the generic three-terminal case, we provide a general …

When a Brownian particle in contact with a heat bath at a constant temperature is controlled
by a time-dependent harmonic potential, its distribution function can be rigorously derived …

Energy harvesters based on ferroelectric materials, which are capable of converting
mechanical and thermal energies into electric power, have drawn unprecedented attention …

We retrospect three abstract models for heat engines which include a classic abstract model
in textbook of thermal physics, a primary abstract model for finite-time heat engines, and a …

We investigate thermoelectric efficiency of systems with broken time-reversal symmetry
under a three-terminal transport. Using a model of Aharonov-Bohm interferometer formed …

We investigate the stochastic thermodynamics of a two-particle Langevin system. Each
particle is in contact with a heat bath at different temperatures T 1 and T 2 (< T 1) …

We study the efficiency at maximum power of two coupled heat engines, using
thermoelectric generators (TEGs) as engines. Assuming that the heat and electric charge …

We propose and theoretically investigate a system of two coupled harmonic oscillators as a
heat engine. We show how these two coupled oscillators within undamped regime can be …
