ABSTRACTIn this paper we studied the thermoelectric power under classically large magnetic field (TPM) in quantum wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWWS) and quantum dots (QDs) of Bi by formulating the respective electron dispersion laws. The TPM increases with increasing film thickness in an oscillatory manner in all the cases. The TPM in QD is greatest and the least for quantum wells respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTWe shall study the thermoelectric power under classically large magnetic field (TPM) in optoelectronic materials of quantum wells (QWs), quantum well wires (QWW’s), quantum dots (QDs) and compare the same with the hulk specimens of optoelectronic materials by formulating the respective electron dispersion law. The TPM increases with decreasing electron concentration in an oscillatory manner in all the cases, taking n-Hg1-xC dxTe as an example. The TPM in QD is greatest and the least for quantum wells respectively. The theoretical results are in agreement with the experimental observations as reported elsewhere.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the thermoelectric power in quantum dots (QDs) of non-parabolic semiconductors in the presence of a classically large magnetic field and we have taken A3N B2V, ternary chalcopyrite, II-VI and III-V semiconductors. It is found that the thermopower increases with increasing film thickness and decreasing electron concentration respectively in all the cases. The numerical values are greatest for Cd3As2 and least for InAs and the theoretical results are in ageement with the experimental observation as reported elsewhere.
