Riassunto (Italiano)
In this thesis we worked with InAs/InP heterostructured semiconductor nanowires, with the aim to explore thermoelectric effects in strongly-confined quantum dots (QDs). Fabrication procedure is described and a complete analysis of the experimental data on the thermoelectric response of the nanoscale QDs is provided, showing that Seebeck coefficient modulation in our system is possible even in temperature regimes higher than previously reported.
