Abstract

The electron thermal conductance of a dot has been calculated within a linear response theory in the regime of weak coupling with two electrode leads. Coulomb oscillations are found. We discuss the effect of the interplay between the charging energy, the thermal energy and the confinement in the behavior of the electron thermal conductance.
