Thermoelectric study of the time-dependent resonant level model

Résumé

We study the non-interacting time-dependent resonant level model mimicking a driven quantum dot connected through leads to two electronic reservoirs held at different temperatures and electrochemical potentials. Using a scattering approach, we provide analytical formulas of the time-dependent particle currents, heat currents, and input driving power under the wideband limit approximation. We also derive Landauer formulas for the corresponding time-integrated quantities when the perturbation applied on the dot is of finite duration. Then, we focus on the case of a single square pulse, benchmark our analytical results against numerical ones that are valid beyond the wideband limit, and perform numerical simulations for a smooth square pulse and a periodic square pulse train. Finally, we discuss whether the efficiency of the device in a stationary Seebeck configuration can be enhanced by driving the dot potential. We find numerically that the transient increase of the efficiency observed in some cases is eventually canceled out at long times.
