a, b Experimental measurements of a conductance and b thermovoltage through the QD device, depicted in false color in the inset to (b). The horizontal axis corresponds to the QD energy, obtained from multiplying the plunger gate voltage \({V}_{P}\) with gate lever arm \(\alpha\) (see methods), and shifting the point of zero energy to the center of the Coulomb-blockade valley. The thermovoltage has a non-zero value in the middle of the valleys around the apparent particle-hole symmetry point (arrow). c Fitting procedure [Eq. (4)], performed directly on the experimental data where each peak was fitted separately.
