Conductance and Seebeck coefficient in the resonant level model. (a) Seebeck coefficients and conductances calculated within the resonant level model. The trajectories a-j are curves of constant \(\Gamma \), varied logarithmically from \( \Gamma =10\,k_BT \) to \(\Gamma =3\cdot 10^{-3}\,k_BT\). Within each trajectory the position of the energy level \(E_0\) was varied in equidistant steps indicated by the color scale. The gray lines are the very same eye guides as in Fig. 2 which mark the boundaries to the excluded area. (b) Transmission functions \(\tau (E)\) along the trajectory with \(\Gamma =1.1\cdot 10^{-1}\; k_BT\). The labels 1–7 correspond to the labels in (a).
