量子点结的热电和热整流特性

Thermoelectric and thermal rectification properties of quantum dot junctions

David M. -T. Kuo, Yia-chung Chang

摘要:

在库仑阻塞条件下,研究了半导体量子点(QDs)嵌入绝缘体基体中与金属电极连接时的电导、热导、热功率和品质因数(ZT).采用多层Anderson模型模拟了多量子点结系统。用Keldysh格林函数方法计算了连续隧穿过程中的电荷流和热流。在线性响应区,尽管电子库仑相互作用对ZT的影响很大,但在小隧穿率的情况下,ZT值仍然很可观。在非线性响应机制中,我们证明了量子点与电极之间具有很强的非对称耦合、量子点之间具有很大的能级间隔以及很强的点间库仑相互作用的耦合量子点系统可以观察到热整流行为。

英文摘要:

The electrical conductance, thermal conductance, thermal power and figure of merit (ZT) of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) embedded into an insulator matrix connected with metallic electrodes are theoretically investigated in the Coulomb blockade regime. The multilevel Anderson model is used to simulate the multiple QDs junction system. The charge and heat currents in the sequential tunneling process are calculated by the Keldysh Green function technique. In the linear response regime the ZT values are still very impressive in the small tunneling rates case, although the effect of electron Coulomb interaction on ZT is significant. In the nonlinear response regime, we have demonstrated that the thermal rectification behavior can be observed for the coupled QDs system, where the very strong asymmetrical coupling between the dots and electrodes, large energy level separation between dots and strong interdot Coulomb interactions are required.
