Thermoelectric properties of mesoscopic systems in GaAs
… describes the thermoelectric properties of mesoscopic structures in modulation doped GaAs/ Al0.33Ga0.67As heterostructures. In particular, we study the thermopower of two-dimensional mesoscopic systems (2DMSs) and antidot lattices defined in them. Quantum oscillations in the thermopower (TP) …

Decoherence effects in nonequilibrium transport through mesoscopic systems
Nonequilibrium electron transport through mesoscopic systems has recently attracted a great amount of attention in both experimental and theoretical physics. Of particular interest are systems where the spin degree of freedom of the electron plays an important role because their investigation might …

HYDRODYNAMIC AND BALLISTIC TRANSPORT IN ULTRA-CLEAN 2D ELECTRON SYSTEMS
This work is broadly on hydrodynamic transport in mesoscopic systems, resulting from strong electron-electron interactions. In the first part, we consider electrons are in near thermal equilibrium with each other, and for which case we calculate conductance by solving hydrodynamic equations. We do …
