Explore the fascinating world of thermoelectric effects at the nanoscale in this lecture on thermoelectric transport driven by spin-orbit coupling. Delve into a study of a junction comprising a single level quantum dot connected to two fermionic terminals by weak links, where an AC electric field induces time-dependent spin-orbit interaction. Discover how this setup supports DC charge and heat currents, and learn about the potential improvements in thermoelectric performance reflected by the effects of spin-orbit coupling on the Seebeck coefficient and electronic thermal conductance. Gain insights into the analysis based on the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green's function formalism in the time domain, and uncover an intriguing distribution of power supply from the AC source among various device components. This hour-long presentation by Debashree Chowdhury from PCS Institute for Basic Science offers a deep dive into cutting-edge research on coherent charge and heat transport through periodically driven nanodevices.
