Noise emitted by a temperature biased tunnel junction

Caloritronic in small systems has been of high interest in recent years since new ways to manipulate electronic heat currents at the nanoscale have been developed. The ability to make mesoscopic systems with well controlled temperature enables the study of quantum heat transport and out of equilibrium quantum thermodynamic, which is of fundamental interest. A tunnel barrier between two metallic electrodes forms the basic unit in the study of non-equilibrium physics and fluctuations. This system has been put to great use in the understanding of electronic transport whether at equilibrium where fluctuations are used as thermometer or in the presence of voltage bias where information on charge carrier can be accessed. In this talk we present calculations and measurements of the electrical noise in a metallic tunnel junction in presence of a thermal and voltage gradient, pushing farther our understanding of its non-equilibrium properties.
