Low-temperature linear thermal rectifiers based on Coriolis forces

POSTER

Abstract

We investigate thermal rectification due to a Coriolis force in a setup of three-terminal symmetric harmonic junctions. By adjusting the angular velocity of the rotating platform, which induces a Coriolis force, we can control the preferred heat transport direction. The concept is demonstrated by using a simple three-terminal triangular lattice.
