Abstract:
In the present work, we study the thermoelectric properties of a double quantum dots serially coupled to Luttinger liquid leads considering the intralead Coulomb interaction. We explore the interplay of the quantum interference effects and Coulomb interaction on the thermoelectric efficiency in the linear and nonlinear regimes. Numerical results demonstrate that in the linear region, the enhanced intralead Coulomb interactions can simultaneously boost power factor and reduce thermal conductance. Complete destructive quantum interference induced by the Coulomb interaction generates molecular insulating states, achieving a remarkable increase of the figure of merit ZT up to 650. In particular, the coexistence of Fano resonance and destructive interference leads to a huge ZT value exceeding 2000. In the nonlinear region, it is shown that the efficiency monotonically increases with the enhancement of the intralead Coulomb interaction. The efficiency at maximum power comparable to the Curzon-Ahlborn efficiency is achieved. However, the improvement of power output depends on both Coulomb interaction and dot-lead coupling. These findings provide theoretical guidelines for designing coherent nanoscale thermoelectric devices.
