【 摘 要 】

Based on numerical renormalization group calculations, we demonstrate that experimentally realized double quantum dots constitute a minimal thermoelectric generator. In the Kondo regime, one quantum dot acts as an n-type and the other one as a p-type thermoelectric device. Properly connected, a capacitively coupled double quantum dot provides a miniature power supply utilizing the thermal energy of the environment.
