thermoelectric materials

What is the Role of Quantum Confinement?

Quantum confinement occurs when the size of a material is reduced to the nanoscale, leading to discrete energy levels. This can enhance the Seebeck coefficient, a measure of the voltage generated by a temperature difference. Quantum dots and nanowires are excellent examples where quantum confinement can be exploited to improve the thermoelectric properties.
