We work in the area of computational nanoelectronics. Expertise in the microscopic simulation of non-equilibrium phenomena will play a crucial role not only in the research and design of emerging electronic and spintronic devices but also in diverse areas such as biological systems. Our simulations address a large class of problems encompassing electron, spin, and…

Recent experiments on Cooper pair splitters using superconductor-quantum dot hybrids have embarked on creating entanglement in the solid-state, by engineering the sub-gap processes in the superconducting region. Using the thermoelectric Cooper pair splitter setup [Nat. Comm., 12, 21, (2021)] as a prototype, we present a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental components of the observed transport…

A class of two-dimensional (2D) materials known as MXenes has a layered structure and is expected to exhibit unique thermoelectric (TE) properties. Despite the high expectations for certain MXenes’ TE capabilities, there has been surprisingly limited theoretical research into this area. Inspired by the recent successful growth of 2D monolayer Ti3C2 MXene, here we explore the…
