We investigated the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and thermopower as a function of Nb content (x) in Ba0.7Eu0.3Ti1-xNbxO3 (x = 0.001- 0.10) in the temperature range T = 400-2 K. The substitution of Nb destabilizes the…
It is theoretically demonstrated that the figure of merit ($ZT$) of quantum dot (QD) junctions can be significantly enhanced when the degree of degeneracy of the energy levels involved in electron transport is increased. The theory is based…

The thermoelectric performance of a topological energy converter is analyzed. The H-shaped device is based on a combination of transverse topological effects involving the spin: the inverse spin Hall effect and the spin Nernst effect. The…
The switching of the magnetization configurations of giant magnetoresistance multilayer stacks not only changes the electric and thermal conductivities, but also the thermopower. We study the magnetotransport and the magneto-thermoelectric…
We solved the Anderson Lattice Hamiltonian to get the energy bands of a strongly correlated semiconductor by using slave boson mean field theory. The transport properties were calculated in the relaxation-time approximation,and the…
We investigate the figure of merit of a quantum dot (QD) in the Coulomb blockade regime. It is found that the figure of merit $ZT$ may be quite high if only single energy level in the QD is considered. On the other hand, with two or multi…
Analytical formulas for thermoelectric figure of merit and power factor are derived based on the one-band model. We find that there is a direct relationship between the optimum figures of merit and the optimum power factors of…

We show that a huge thermoelectric effect can be observed by contacting a superconductor whose density of states is spin-split by a Zeeman field with a ferromagnet with a non-zero polarization. The resulting thermopower exceeds $k_B/e$ by a…
