Topology-Controlled Thermopower Oscillations in Multiterminal Andreev Interferometers
Physica Status Solidi - Rapid Research Letters. 2019. Vol. 13. No. 1. P. 1800252-1–1800252-5.
We theoretically investigate coherent oscillations of the thermopower S as a function of the magnetic flux Ф in six-terminal Andreev interferometers. We demonstrate that the thermopower behavior is determined by a number of
contributions originating from the Josephson- and Aharonov–Bohm-like effects as well as from electron–hole asymmetry. The relative weight of these contributions depends on the relation between temperature, voltage bias, and
an effective Thouless energy of our setup. We particularly emphasize the role of the system topology that may have a dramatic impact on the behavior of S(Ф).

Resonators based on nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) using two-dimensional (2D) materials with high-quality factors and excellent electrical control are critical for tunable coherent phonon dynamics, resonant sensors and wireless communications. However, their performance is fundamentally limited by the lack of a unified framework governing energy dissipation mechanisms and their electrical tunability. Here, we synergistically modulate both ...

Thermoelectric materials, long explored for energy harvesting and thermal sensing, convert heat directly into electrical signals. Extending their application to the terahertz (THz) frequency range opens opportunities for low-noise, bias-free THz detection, yet conventional thermoelectrics lack the sensitivity required for practical devices. Thermoelectric coefficients can be strongly enhanced near van Hove singularities (VHS), though these ...

We demonstrate and rationalize the effect of Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the hierarchical g-C3N4/CeO2 heterojunction. g-C3N4/CeO2 decorated with monodispersed plasmonic Au NPs was synthesized. Detailed analyses showed that CeO2 nanocubes and monodispersed Au NPs were evenly distributed over the 2D g-C3N4 surface, forming a robust interface enriched with abundant active sites. The structure enabled efficient separation of photogenerated charge ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

We develop a linear response theory for the dynamical proximity effect in topological superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator (TS/FI) hybrids. Our approach integrates the nonequilibrium quasiclassical Keldysh-Usadel formalism for the TS with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the FI's magnetization dynamics. This framework reveals a proximity-induced coupling between magnons and superconducting collective modes. Crucially, we find that spin-momentum locking in ...

При сверхнизких температурах существенный вклад в работу гибридных структур вносят неравновесные квазичастицы (КЧ). В широко используемом алюминии, КЧ демонстрируют удивительно большие длины релаксации – примерно 5 мкм для зарядового дисбаланса, и более 40 мкм для энергетической релаксации (при T ~ 20 мК). Подобные пространственные масштабы означают, что одна квазичастица может пересекать всю гибридную структуру, оказывая ...
