The transport in a one-dimensional (1D) waveguide is dominated by the wave-like character of electrons. In simple ballistic 1D waveguides electric and thermal conductance are quantized and follow the Wiedemann-Franz law. The question is how the mode-dependent heat transfer evolves in networks of extended 1D waveguides, such as Aharonov-Bohm rings.
We show experimental data and theoretical calculations for ballistic heat transfer in a four-terminal nanodevice. By applying a gate voltage, the heat flux is distributed to different leads according to the scattering states at the wire junctions.
The theoretical analysis relies on a computationally efficient wavepacket technique to model the flux through the device over a large transport window. At finite temperatures and Fermi energies we identify a strong ballistic component of the electric and heat currents, which opens the prospects to actively control the heat flux close to the quantum threshold.
