Abstract

In this chapter, an attempt is made to study the Seebeck coefficient under large magnetic field (S) in quantum dots of heavily doped nonlinear optical, III-V, II-VI, GaP, Ge, Te, PtSb2, II-V, GaSb, stressed materials, IV-VI, Lead Germanium Telluride, Zinc and Cadmium diphosphides and Bi2Te3 on the basis of newly formulated carrier dispersion laws respectively. We have also investigated the S in heavily doped III-V,IIVI, IV-VI, HgTe/CdTe and strained layer Quantum Dot Superlattices (QDSL) with graded interfaces together with the effective mass superlattices of the afore mentioned materials by formulating new carrier energy spectra. It has been found that the S for the said heavily doped quantum dots and QDSL oscillate with increasing thickness and changes with increasing electron concentration in various manners for all types of superlattices with two entirely different signatures of quantization as appropriate in respective cases of the aforementioned quantized structures. © 2013 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
