Keywords:
Thermopower, Tunneling Phenomena, Quantum Monte Carlo MethodAbstract
We calculated the thermopower of the single electron transistor for a region of strong tunneling using the quantum Monte Carlo method. Moreover, the quantum Monte Carlo results were compared with results obtained from 2nd order perturbation theory. In the case of the strength tunneling parameter being , the Monte Carlo results agreed with the perturbation results. However, for the Monte Carlo results were significantly different from the perturbation results. Therefore, we proposed this method to describe the thermoelectric properties of the single electron transistor for all tunneling regimes.
