From: Staircase Quantum Dots Configuration in Nanowires for Optimized Thermoelectric Power
(a,b) Power factor P = σS2 and Seebeck coefficient S as functions of energy step dE for (a) a single pair of QDs and (b) a chain of N = 10 QDs with staircase energy configuration. (c,d): Power factor P = σS2 and Seebeck coefficient S as functions of the number of QDs in a single nano-device with staircase energy configuration for (c) dE = 10 meV and (d) dE = 30 meV. kBT = 30 meV.
