Nonlinear Peltier Effect in Quantum Point Contacts
A theoretical analysis of the Peltier effect in two-dimensional quantum point contacts, in field-free conditions and under the influence of applied magnetic fields, is presented. It is shown that in the nonlinear regime (finite applied voltage) new peaks in the Peltier coefficient appear leading to violation of Onsager’s relation. Oscillations of the Peltier coefficient in a magnetic field are ...

متن کاملMode locking in quantum-Hall-effect point contacts.
We study the effect of an ac drive on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of a tunnel junction between two fractional quantum Hall fluids at filling n an odd integer. Within the chiral Luttinger-liquid model of edge states, the point-contact dynamics is described by a driven damped quantum mechanical pendulum. In a semiclassical limit which ignores electron tunneling, this model exhibits ...
متن کاملElectron-phonon scattering in quantum point contacts.
We study the negative correction to the quantized value 2e(2)/h of the conductance of a quantum point contact due to the backscattering of electrons by acoustic phonons. The correction shows activated temperature dependence and also gives rise to a zero-bias anomaly in conductance. Our results are in qualitative agreement with recent experiments studying the 0.7 feature in the conductance of qu...
متن کاملLocal moment formation in quantum point contacts.
Spin-density-functional theory of quantum point contacts (QPCs) reveals the formation of a local moment with a net of one electron spin in the vicinity of the point contact-supporting the recent report of a Kondo effect in a QPC. The hybridization of the local moment to the leads decreases as the QPC becomes longer, while the on site Coulomb-interaction energy remains almost constant.
