In 1879, in the midst of the debate between English and continental scientists about the nature of cathode rays, William Crookes conducted an experiment in which a small mill or “paddle wheel” was pushed along tracks inside a cathode ray tube (CR

Hot carrier solar cells are a third generation solar cell device where electrons and holes, heated by solar radiation, are removed from the absorber via low-dimensional energy selective contacts before they can thermalise to the band edge. Here, a ne

A new solid-state thermionic device structure is proposed, which employs short-period superlattices to reduce heat backflow in the device while maintaining good electrical transport. Short-period superlattices have been shown to have thermal conducti

Conventional thermionic power generators and refrigerators utilize a barrier in the direction of transport to selectively transmit high-energy electrons. Here we show that the energy spectrum of electrons transmitted in this way is not optimal, and w

In conventional p–n junction solar cells, carrier multiplication by impact ionisation, is negligible, owing to the low temperature of the electron–hole pairs. This leads to particle conservation between the net number of absorbed photons and the

Quantum ratchets are Brownian motors in which the quantum dynamics of particles induces qualitatively new behavior. We review a series of experiments in which asymmetric semiconductor devices of sub-micron dimensions are used to study quantum ratchet

There is great scientific, economic and environmental interest in the development of thermoelectric materials capable of direct thermal‐to‐electric energy conversion with high efficiency. We predict that in materials with a fine‐tuned electroni

Nanowires have been predicted to yield significantly improved thermoelectric figures of merit. Here we describe the electron energy spectrum of a resonant tunneling heterostructure nanowire in detail and show how it may be used to realize energy filt

We investigate the symmetry of magnetoconductance fluctuations of phase-coherent, two-terminal quantum dots in the nonlinear regime of transport. Specifically, we consider open, ballistic quantum dots (electron billiards) with and without symmetry ax
