Abstract:The quantitative theory of phonon drag thermopower for the one-dimensional electron gas in a quantum wire with a parabolic confinement potential is developed. The temperature gradient is directed along the axis of a quantum wire. As assumed, the Fermi level is located between the zero and first levels of a size quantization. Using the Boltzmann kinetic equation, the phonon and electronic parts of a thermoelectric power are calculated. For comparison, numerical calculations of the temperature and concentration … Show more
