Thermopower with broken time-reversal symmetry

Statistical Mechanics 2011-11-16 v1

Abstract

We show that when non-unitary noise effects are taken into account the thermopower is in general asymmetric under magnetic field reversal, even for non-interacting systems. Our findings are illustrated in the example of a three-dot ring structure pierced by an Aharonov-Bohm flux.
