We study the electronic contribution to the main thermoelectric properties of a molecular junction consisting of a single quantum dot coupled to graphene external leads. The system electrical conductivity (G), Seebeck coefficient ($S$), and…

In this work we present a detailed study and derivation of the thermopower and thermoelectric coefficient of nano-granular metals at large tunneling conductance between the grains, g_T>> 1. An important criterion for the performance of a…

Transport properties in the presence of magnetic fields are numerically studied for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg XXZ chain. The breakdown of the spin-reversal symmetry due to the magnetic field induces the magnetothermal effect. In analogy with…

The Seebeck coefficient is examined for two-dimensional Dirac electrons in the three-quarter filled organic conductor alpha-(BEDT-TTF)_2I_3 under hydrostatic pressure, where the Seebeck coefficient is proportional to the ratio of the…

The unique structure of Zintl phase makes it an ideal system to realize the concept of phonon-glass and electron-crystal in the thermoelectric community. In this work, by combining first-principles calculations and Boltzmann transport…

Conducting materials typically exhibit either diffusive or ballistic charge transport. However, when electron-electron interactions dominate, a hydrodynamic regime with viscous charge flow emerges (1-13). More stringent conditions…

We study the thermoelectric properties of three-dimensional topological Anderson insulators with line dislocations. We show that at high densities of dislocations the thermoelectric figure of merit ZT can be dominated by one-dimensional…

Designing thermoelectric materials with high figure of merit $ZT=S^2 G T/\kappa$ requires fulfilling three often irreconcilable conditions, i.e., the high electrical conductance $G$, small thermal conductance $\kappa$ and high Seebeck…

To increase the performance of thermoelectric materials, the electronic parameters in the figure of merit must be improved. In this paper, we use full, numerical band structures and solve the Boltzmann equation in the relaxation time…

We investigate electron and phonon transport through edge disordered zigzag graphene nanoribbons based on the same methodological tool of nonequilibrium Green functions. We show that edge disorder dramatically reduces phonon thermal…

Two-dimensional group IV transition-metal dichalcogenides have encouraging thermoelectric applications since their electronic and lattice properties can be manipulated with strain. In this paper, we report the thermoelectric parameters such…

Deviation from perfect conical dispersion in Dirac materials, such as the presence of mass or tilting, enhances control and directionality of electronic transport. To identify these signatures, we analyze the thermal derivative spectra of…

The Seebeck coefficient is an important quantity in determining the thermoelectric efficiency of a material. Phosphorene is a two-dimensional material with a puckered structure, which makes its properties anisotropic. In this work, a…

The effect of interface scattering on the performance of disordered, nanocomposite thermoelectric materials is studied theoretically using effective medium theory and direct numerics. The interfacial electronic and phonon scattering…

Thermoelectric power (TEP) is measured in bilayer graphene for various temperatures and charge-carrier densities. At low temperatures, measured TEP well follows the semiclassical Mott formula with a hyperbolic dispersion relation. TEP for a…

Thermoelectric effects in a double quantum dot system coupled to external magnetic/nonmagnetic leads are investigated theoretically. The basic thermoelectric transport characteristics, like thermopower, electronic contribution to heat…

Novel intrinsic two-dimensional materials have attracted many researchers' attention. The unusual transport and optical properties of these materials originate mainly from triangular lattices (TLs). Therefore, the application of energy…

In search of better thermoelectric materials, we have systematically investigated the thermoelectric properties of a 122 Zintl phase compound EuCd$_{2}$As$_{2}$ using \textit{ab-initio} density functional theory and semi-classical Boltzmann…

Recently SnSe compound was reported to have a peak thermoelectric figure-5 of-merit (ZT) of 2.62 at 923 K, but the ZT values at temperatures below 750 K are relatively low. In this work, the electronic structures of SnSe are calculated…

A numerical study of thermoelectric nanocomposites is presented. Thermoelectric properties as a function of average grain size or nanoparticle density are examined by simulating the measurements as they would be done experimentally. In…
