The quantitative theory of phonon drag thermopower for the one-dimensional electron gas in a quantum wire with a parabolic confinement potential is developed. The temperature gradient is directed along the axis of a quantum wire. As assumed, the Fermi level is located between the zero and first levels of a size quantization. Using the Boltzmann kinetic equation, the phonon and electronic parts of a thermoelectric power are calculated. For comparison, numerical calculations of the temperature and concentration dependences of the phonon and diffusion parts of a thermoelectric power are carried out. As shown, the phonon drag makes a main contribution in thermopower within the temperature interval 2–20 K.

Key words: quantum wire, phonon drag, parabolic potential, energy spectrum, thermoelectric effects, diffusion thermopower, phonon thermopower.
