Charge-vibration interaction effects in normal-superconductor quantum dots
We study the quantum transport and the nonequilibrium vibrational states of a quantum dot embedded between a normal-conducting and a superconducting lead with the charge on the quantum dot linearly coupled to a harmonic oscillator of frequency ω. To the leading order in the charge-vibration interaction, we calculate the current and the nonequilibrium phonon occupation by the Keldsyh Green’s fun...
متن کاملThermoelectric effects in quantum dots
We report a numerical renormalization-group study of the thermoelectric effect in the single-electron transistor (SET) and side-coupled geometries. As expected, the computed thermal conductance and thermopower curves show signatures of the Kondo effect and of Fano interference. The thermopower curves are also affected by particle-hole asymmetry.
متن کاملThermoelectric transport through a quantum dot coupled to a normal metal and BCS superconductor
I discuss thermoelectric properties of a quantum dot coupled to one normal and one superconducting lead in the presence of Kondo effect and Andreev scattering. I will focus on conductance, thermal conductance, thermopower and related quantities like thermoelectric figure of merit which is a direct measure of the usefulness of the system for applications and Wiedemann-Franz ratio which indicates...
متن کاملStaircase Quantum Dots Configuration in Nanowires for Optimized Thermoelectric Power
The performance of thermoelectric energy harvesters can be improved by nanostructures that exploit inelastic transport processes. One prototype is the three-terminal hopping thermoelectric device where electron hopping between quantum-dots are driven by hot phonons. Such three-terminal hopping thermoelectric devices have potential in achieving high efficiency or power via inelastic transport an...
متن کاملThermoelectric effects in correlated quantum dots and molecules
We investigate thermoelectric properties of correlated quantum dots and molecules, described by a single level Anderson model coupled to conduction electron leads, by using Wilson’s numerical renormalization group method. In the Kondo regime, the thermopower, S(T ), exhibits two sign changes, at temperatures T = T1 and T = T2 > T1. We find that T2 is of order the level width Γ and T1 > Tp ≈ TK ...
