We investigate the current noise of a charge qubit coupled to a phonon bath in different parameter regimes. We find, using the theory of Full Counting Statistics of non-Markovian systems, that the current fluctuations are strongly influenced by memory effects generated from the interplay between quantum coherence and the dynamics of the phonon bath.

Temperature-Biased Double-Loop Josephson Flux Transducer

C. Guarcello, R. Citro, F. Giazotto, A. Braggio

Summary: In this theoretical study, we investigate the behavior of the critical current of a thermally biased tunnel Josephson junction with a unique design. By independently modifying the superconducting gaps through magnetic fluxes, we demonstrate a magnetically controllable response of the critical current. Additionally, we discuss the optimal working conditions and the high sensitivity of the critical current to small changes in magnetic flux, highlighting the performance of a magnetic flux-to-critical current transducer with a high transfer function that depends on various factors.

Vaibhav Varade, Golam Haider, Artur Slobodeniuk, Richard Korytar, Tomas Novotny, Vaclav Holy, Jiri Miksatko, Jan Plsek, Jan Sykora, Miriam Basova, Martin Zacek, Martin Hof, Martin Kalbac, Jana Vejpravova

Summary: We demonstrate a class of layered valley-spin hybrid (VSH) materials composed of a monolayer two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor and double-decker single molecule magnets (SMMs). The interaction of the VSH components gives rise to the intersystem crossing of the photogenerated carriers and moderate p-doping of the MoS2 monolayer. By helicity-resolved photoluminescence (PL) microspectroscopy, we observed enhanced A exciton-related valley emission at room temperature and elucidated the mechanism behind it. Our study shows the experimental feasibility and great promises of ultrathin VSH materials for opto-spintronic, valleytronic, and quantum information concepts.

Bipolar thermoelectricity in S/I/NS and S/I/SN superconducting tunnel junctions

A. Hijano, F. S. Bergeret, F. Giazotto, A. Braggio

Summary: Recent studies have shown the potential for bipolar thermoelectricity in superconducting tunnel junctions with asymmetric energy gaps. The thermoelectric performance of these systems is significantly impacted by the inverse proximity effects present in the normal-superconducting bilayer. Directly tunnel-coupling the normal metal side of the cold bilayer with the hot superconductor is found to be more advantageous compared to the scheme used in experiments.

Federico Paolucci, Gaia Germanese, Alessandro Braggio, Francesco Giazotto

Summary: We propose a passive single-photon detector based on the bipolar thermoelectric effect occurring in tunnel junctions between two different superconductors. This detector converts the absorption of a single photon into an open circuit thermovoltage. It has the potential to reveal single photons in a frequency range of 15 GHz to 150 PHz, depending on design and materials, and can be viewed as a digital single-photon detector. It has a wide frequency range and could have practical applications in quantum science and technology.

Bipolar Thermoelectricity in Bilayer-Graphene-Superconductor Tunnel Junctions

L. Bernazzani, G. Marchegiani, F. Giazotto, S. Roddaro, A. Braggio

Summary: We study the thermoelectric properties of a hybrid nanodevice consisting of two-dimensional carbon-based material and a superconductor. This system exhibits nonlinear bipolar thermoelectricity due to the spontaneous breaking of particle-hole symmetry in a tunnel junction between bilayer graphene and a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor. The most interesting feature of this effect is its bipolarity. The ability to control the bilayer graphene gap guarantees improved thermoelectric performance, reaching up to 1 mV/K for the Seebeck coefficient, and a power density of 1 nW/μm2 for temperature gradients of tens of kelvin. The predicted robustness of this system could lead to further experimental investigations and applications in the near future, thanks to the available nanofabrication techniques.

Microwave-Assisted Thermoelectricity in S-I-S′ Tunnel Junctions

A. Hijano, F. S. Bergeret, F. Giazotto, A. Braggio

Summary: Asymmetric superconducting tunnel junctions with Lambda 1 > Lambda(2) exhibit a peculiar nonlinear bipolar thermoelectric effect due to the spontaneous breaking of electron-hole symmetry. This effect is maximized at the matching-peak bias vertical bar V vertical bar = V-p = (Delta - Delta(2))/e. This paper investigates the interplay of photon-assisted tunneling and bipolar thermoelectric generation, showing how thermoelectricity is supported by photon absorption and emission processes at the frequency-shifted sidebands.

Extraction of autonomous quantum coherences

Artur Slobodeniuk, Tomas Novotny, Radim Filip

Summary: Quantum coherence is a crucial resource for surpassing classical physics and technology. It has been proposed that quantum coherence of a spin can be induced in a low-temperature environment without the need for external coherent pumping. By weakly coupling to an output system and dynamically affecting the spin-environment coupling, it is possible to extract such coherence. Comparisons between internal spin coherence and output coherence over temperature and characteristic frequencies are made. This proposed optimal coherence extraction opens up avenues for experimental tests with atomic and solid-state systems.

We also apply the metastate theory and the dressed-state picture to predict the positions of the spectral resonances.

Sensing property of TM (Ti, Mn, Mo) doped Janus WSSe monolayer upon vented gases of lithium-ion battery thermal runaway

Tianyan Jiang, Jie Fang, Wentao Zhang, Maoqiang Bi, Xi Chen, Junsheng Chen

Summary: This paper investigates the adsorption and sensing properties of transition metal-doped WSSe gas-sensitive devices towards H2, CO, and CO2 gases related to thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries using density functional theory. The results show that Ti, Mn, and Mo dopants preferentially bind to the S-surface of the WSSe monolayer, and all three monolayers exhibit significantly improved sensing characteristics, with chemisorption towards CO. Band structure analysis suggests that the Ti-WSSe monolayer has the potential to be used as a resistive CO detection sensor. Recovery time calculations indicate the reuse capabilities of the gas-sensitive devices. Mn-WSSe monolayer shows potential for H2 detection, while Mo-WSSe monolayer is more suitable for CO2 detection. This work lays the foundation for potential gas-sensitive applications of WSSe monolayer in thermal runaway scenarios, advancing research in gas sensing domains.

Effects of electric and magnetic fields on Goos-Hänchen shifts in semi-Dirac systems

Lijun Cheng, Fang Cheng

Summary: This paper investigates the effects of electric and magnetic fields on the Goos-Hanchen (GH) shift in a semi-Dirac system. The results show that the magnitude and direction of the GH shift depend on various factors such as incidence angle, electric barrier height and width, and magnetic field. It is observed that there is a saltus step in GH shifts at the critical magnetic field, which decreases with increased potential barrier thickness. Additionally, the GH shift can be significantly enhanced by applying an electric field in the III region. These findings are important for the development of semi-Dirac based electronic devices.

Phonon scattering channel and electrical transport of graphene induced by the anharmonic phonon renormalization

Donglin Guo, Zhengmeng Xu, Chunhong Li, Kejian Li, Bin Shao, Xianfu Luo, Jianchun Sun, Yilong Ma

Summary: Using full electron-phonon interactions and the Boltzmann transport equation, this study investigates the phonon scattering channel and electrical properties of graphene under anharmonic phonon renormalization (APRN). The results show that the APRN reduces the phonon frequency and three-phonon phase space with increasing temperature, affecting the acoustic branch more than the optical branch. The thermal conductivity of graphene decreases after considering three- and four-phonon scattering, and the primary scattering channels are identified. Furthermore, the APRN increases the strength of electron-phonon coupling and leads to an increase in n-type electric resistance at room temperature.
