Abstract

In the absence of phonon contribution, a weakly coupled single orbital noninteracting quantum dot thermoelectric setup is known to operate reversibly as a Carnot engine. This reversible operation, however, occurs only in the ideal case of vanishing coupling to the contacts, wherein the transmission function is delta shaped, and under open-circuit conditions, where no electrical power is ...
