Coulomb blockade oscillations in the thermopower of open quantum dots
1Department of Physics, University of Colorado, Boulder 80309, USA.
Abstract:
We consider Coulomb blockade oscillations of thermoelectric coefficients of a single electron transistor based on a quantum dot strongly coupled to one of the leads. An analytic expression for the thermopower as a function of temperature T and the reflection amplitude r in the quantum point contact is obtained. Two regimes can be identified: T<
