A polaron theory of quantum thermal transistor in nonequilibrium three-level systems |
(a) Heat amplification factor βr as a function of the middle bath temperature Tm with various system–middle bath coupling strength αm; (b) three steady state heat currents Ju/γ (u = l,m,r) as a function of Tm with the coupling strength αm = 4, and the inset is the zoom in view of Jm/γ; (c) the 3D view of the heat amplification factor βr by tuning Tm and αm. The other parameters are given by εl = 1.0, εr = 0.6, Δ = 0.6, γ = 0.0002, ωc = 10, Tl = 2, and Tr = 0.4. |
