Getting information from the mixed electrical-heat noise

Abstract

We give a classification of the different types of noise in a quantum dot, for variable temperature, voltage and frequency. It allows us first to show which kind of information can be extracted from the electrical noise, such as the ac-conductance or the Fano factor. And next, to classify the mixed electrical-heat noise, and to identify in which regimes information on the Seebeck coefficient, on the thermoelectric figure of merit, or on the thermoelectric efficiency can be obtained.
