On the basis of the theoretical model of a quantum well with infinitely high walls the dependences of the thermoelectric parameters of nanostructures of lead chalcogenides PbTe, PbSe, and PbS on their thickness have been investigated. It has been found that the Seebeck coefficient of such structures changes nonmonotonically with the width of the corresponding quantum well. Comparison has been made...
