At present, metal–molecular tunnel junctions are recognized as important active elements in
molecular electronics. This gives a strong motivation to explore physical mechanisms …

Advances in the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale systems presently allow for a
better understanding of their thermoelectric properties. As is known, the building blocks of …

Charge transport accompanied by heat transfer through a single-level quantum dot coupled
to ferromagnetic leads with noncollinear magnetic moments is studied theoretically in the …

The thermoelectric properties of strongly correlated quantum dots, described by a single-
level Anderson model coupled to conduction-electron leads, is investigated using Wilson's …

Thermoelectric effects in a double quantum dot system coupled to external
magnetic/nonmagnetic leads are investigated theoretically. The basic thermoelectric …

We show that a molecular junction can give large values of the thermoelectric figure of merit
ZT, and so it could be used as a solid-state energy-conversion device that operates close to …

We study the influence of Coulomb interaction on the thermoelectric transport coefficients for
a metallic single-electron transistor. By performing a perturbation expansion up to second …

We demonstrate high-temperature thermoelectric conversion in InAs/InP nanowire quantum
dots by taking advantage of their strong electronic confinement. The electrical conductance …

We report on combined measurements of heat and charge transport through a single-
electron transistor. The device acts as a heat switch actuated by the voltage applied on the …

We investigate the figure of merit of a quantum dot (QD) in the Coulomb blockade regime. It
is found that the figure of merit ZT may be quite high if only single-energy level in the QD is …
