The Thermopower of Quantum Chaos

arXiv:cond-mat/9811181 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.82.2927

Abstract

The thermovoltage of a chaotic quantum dot is measured using a current heating technique. The fluctuations in the thermopower as a function of magnetic field and dot shape display a non-Gaussian distribution, in agreement with simulations using Random Matrix Theory. We observe no contributions from weak localization or short trajectories in the thermopower.
