▎ 摘  要

Refrigerators soak up heat energy from a low-temperature region and dump it into a higher temperature region using external work done on the system. Refrigerators are useful in cooling down a system to very low temperatures. In this study, we show that a monolayer of strained graphene can be used in designing a quantum refrigerator with an excellent coefficient of performance and large cooling power. The operating point at which the strained graphene device works best as a quantum refrigerator is derived, and the effects of strain and temperature on cooling are discussed.
