Correlations between charge and heat currents in an interacting quantum dot

We consider an interacting quantum dot connected to two reservoirs driven at distinct voltage/temperature and we study the correlations between charge and heat currents first as a function of the applied voltage bias, and second as a function of the temperature gradient between the two reservoirs.

Zusammenfassung:We consider an interacting quantum dot connected to two reservoirs driven at distinct voltage/temperature and we study the correlations between charge and heat currents first as a function of the applied voltage bias, and second as a function of the temperature gradient between the two reservoirs. The Coulomb interactions in the quantum dot are treated using the Hartree approximation and the dot occupation number is determined self-consistently. The correlators exhibit structures in their voltage dependency which are highly non-linear when the coupling between the dot and the reservoirs is weak, and their behavior with temperature is non-monotonous. Moreover the sign of heat cross-correlator can change contrary to what happens with the charge cross-correlator which is always negative. The presence of Coulomb interactions enlarges the domain of voltage in which the heat cross-correlator is negative.
