Quantum Effects in the Thermoelectric Power Factor of Low-Dimensional Semiconductors

We theoretically investigate the interplay between the confinement length L and the thermal de Broglie wavelength Λ to optimize the thermoelectric power factor of semiconducting materials. An analytical formula for the power factor is derived based on the one-band model assuming nondegenerate semico...
