Thermoelectricity of near-resonant tunnel junctions and their relation to Carnot efficiency

Abstract We present a conceptual study motivated by electrical and thermoelectrical measurements on various near-resonant tunnel junctions. The squeezable nano junction technique allows the quasi-synchronous measurement of conductance G, I(V) characteristics and Seebeck coefficient S. Correlations b...
