Abstract

The electrical conductance, the thermal conductance, the thermopower and the thermoelectrical figure of merit are analyzed through a double quantum dot system weakly coupled to metal electrodes, by means of density matrix approach. The effects of interdot tunneling, intra- and interdot Coulomb repulsions on the figure of merit are examined. Results show that increase of interdot tunneling gives rise to a reduction in figure of merit. On the other hand, increase of Coulomb repulsion results in enhancement of figure of merit because of reduce of bipolar effect.
