1. 1. Thermoelectric transport and thermometry of quantum dots

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Fasta tillståndets fysik

   Author : Martin Josefsson; [2015]
   Keywords : thermoelectricity; quantum dot; QD; quantum transport; solid state physics; Technology and Engineering; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Thermoelectricity is the physical principle of converting heat energy directly into electrical energy. Devices based on this principle so far fall short on efficiency but future thermoelectric devices based on QDs can have very high efficiency. Before QDs can be used in actual devices their behavior must the studied to a further extent. READ MORE

3. 2. Thermopower simulation of a two level spinless quantum dot

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik

   Author : Susanna Hammarberg; [2014]
   Keywords : quantum dot transport thermopower; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : Quantum dots are interesting candidates for a broad variety of electronic components, with single electron transistors and LEDs being two examples already well on their way. In nanostructures, such as quantum dots, quantum effects greatly influence the transport. READ MORE
