Nonequilibrium effects in the thermal switching of underdamped Josephson junctions
We study the thermal escape problem in the low damping limit. We find that finiteness of the barrier is crucial for explaining the thermal activation results. In this regime, low barrier nonequilibrium corrections to the usual theories become necessary. We propose a simple theoretical extension accounting for these nonequilibrium processes which agrees numerical results. We apply our theory to ...
متن کاملQuantized thermal transport in single-atom junctions.
Thermal transport in individual atomic junctions and chains is of great fundamental interest because of the distinctive quantum effects expected to arise in them. By using novel, custom-fabricated, picowatt-resolution calorimetric scanning probes, we measured the thermal conductance of gold and platinum metallic wires down to single-atom junctions. Our work reveals that the thermal conductance ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Zeeman splitting in quantum transport through nanoscale junctions.
We calculate the differential conductance G(V) through a quantum dot in an applied magnetic field. We use a Keldysh conserving approximation for weakly correlated and the scattering-states numerical renormalization group for the intermediate and strongly correlated regime out of equilibrium. In the weakly correlated regime, the Zeeman splitting observable in G(V) strongly depends on the asymmet...
