Low-temperature linear thermal rectifiers based on Coriolis forces

Abstract

We demonstrate that a three-terminal harmonic symmetric chain in the presence of a Coriolis force, produced by a rotating platform which is used to place the chain, can produce thermal rectification. The direction of heat flow is reconfigurable and controlled by the angular velocity Ω of the rotating platform. A simple three terminal triangular lattice is used to demonstrate the proposed principle.

Design Algorithms of Driving-Induced Nonreciprocal Components

“…Parallel approaches that aim to realize non-reciprocal components have capitalized on active schemes. These designs utilize spatio-temporal modulations of the impedance profile of the propagating medium and provide a promising alternative for the realization of compact, reconfigurable non-reciprocal components [1,3,4,7,[25][26][27]. In fact, when paired with the emerging field of Floquet engineering [28][29][30], they might provide a powerful approach that can produce frequency and bandwidthtailored non-reciprocal transport [31,32].…”
