Audiovisuals resources and Communication Services from UIB have developed ten audiovisual microspaces where researchers answer a question so knowledgeably and with the support of the images.UIB researchers who have worked on this project are Dr. Andreu Moià, the Department ...
IFISC researchers propose a theoretical framework to study the combined effects of temperature and electric fields in nanostructures
Jan. 17, 2013
We investigate nonlinear transport properties of quantum conductors in response to both electrical and thermal driving forces. Within the scattering approach, we determine the nonequilibrium screening potential of a generic mesoscopic system and find that its response is dictated by ...
