剑桥大学成功完善基于共振隧穿量子点的纳米级能量收集器理论基础

在最近的一项研究中，剑桥大学的研究人员与马德里，罗切斯特，杜伊斯堡和谢菲尔德的同事合作，通过实验证明了基于共振隧穿量子点的自主纳米级能量收集器的研发可行性。该收集器研发基于团队部分成员的先行研究，即基于两个不同能级的共振隧穿量子点的三端能量收集器。

能量收集器由剑桥卡文迪许实验室一位名为Gulzat Jaliel的研究员最先实现。而设备的创新性理论建议是由安德鲁·乔丹在2013年提出，理论工作则由他与著名的半导体物理学家Markus Büttiker和日内瓦的一组博士后研究人员合作完成。

In a recent study, researchers at the University of Cambridge, in collaboration with colleagues in Madrid, Rochester, Duisburg and Sheffield, have experimentally demonstrated the potential of an autonomous nanoscale energy harvester based on resonant tunneling quantum dots. This harvester is based on previous research carried out by part of their team, who had proposed a three-terminal energy harvester based on two resonant-tunneling quantum dots with different energy levels.

The energy harvester device was realized at Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge by a researcher called Gulzat Jaliel. The original theoretical proposal for the device, however, was introduced by Andrew Jordan in 2013, and the theoretical work behind the harvester was carried out by him in collaboration with renowned semiconductor physicist Markus Büttiker and a team of post-doctoral students in Geneva.
