Abstract
Current heating is used to measure the thermopower of a quantum dot in the Coulomb blockade regime. We observe sawtooth-like oscillations as a function of gate voltage in the thermovoltage across the dot. These observations are compared with measured Coulomb blockade oscillations in the conductance, and with theory.
