Thermoelectric effects in a helical edge coupled to a quantum magnet — •Peter Silvestrov¹, Piet Brouwer², and Patrik Recher^1,3 — ¹Institute for Mathematical Physics, TU Braunschweig, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany — ²Physics Department and Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany — ³Laboratory for Emerging Nanometrology Braunschweig, 38106 Braunschweig, Germany

We explore the analogy between a helical edge current interacting with a microscopic magnet and the adiabatic quantum motor[1-3], with special emphasis on thermal effects. These include a thermal engine, in which the thermal gradient is converted directly into mechanical work, a device producing an AC current from the temperature gradient, and an electron refrigerator.
