The electrical conductance, thermal conductance, thermopower, and the thermoelectrical figure of merit(FOM) are calcu-lated by using Green's function method. It is found that the peaks in the electrical conductance are split by the exchange coupling between the electron entering into the dot and the magnetic impurity inside the dot, accompanied by the decrease in the height of peaks.

1.IntroductionWith some recent experimental[1–5]and theoretical[6–9]breakthroughs,the thermoelectric effect in low-dimensionalmesoscopic systems has attracted much interest due to the highefficiency of converting heat into electricity,or vice versa.The
