Phase-tunable thermoelectricity in a Josephson junction
Giampiero Marchegiani, Alessandro Braggio, Francesco Giazotto
Abstract
The authors discuss the nonlinear thermoelectric features of a thermally biased superconducting quantum interference device, where the magnetic flux is used to control the quantum mechanical phase. In the setup considered, both the mean value and the frequency of the oscillatory component of the thermoelectric signal can be externally tuned
