  • Title: Performance characteristics and optimal analysis of a nanosized quantum dot photoelectric refrigerator.
    Author: Li C, Zhang Y, Wang J, He J.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2013 Dec; 88(6):062120. PubMed ID: 24483399.
    Abstract:
    We study the thermodynamic performance of a nanosized photoelectric refrigerator consisting of three coupled single-level quantum dots embedded between two reservoirs at different temperatures. Based on the quantum master equation, we derive expressions for the cooling power and coefficient of performance (COP) of the refrigerator and plot the characteristic curves between the cooling power and the COP. We analyze the optimal performance parameters under conditions of maximum cooling power and maximum COP, and we discuss the influence of the energy level difference and the temperature ratio on the optimal performance parameters in detail.
