Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are thin strips of graphene with unique properties due to their structure and nanometric dimensions. They stand out as basic components for the construction of different types of nanoelectromechanical systems…
Thermoelectric effects allow the generation of electrical power from waste heat and the electrical control of cooling and heating. Remarkably, these effects are also highly sensitive to the asymmetry in the density of states around the…
We propose, for the first time, a valley Seebeck effect in gate tunable zigzag graphene nanoribbons as a result of the interplay between thermal gradient and valleytronics. A pure valley current is further generated by the thermal gradient…

We consider a mesoscopic four-terminal superconductor/normal metal (S/N) structure in the presence of a temperature gradient along the N wire. A thermoemf arises in this system even in the absence of the thermoelectric quasiparticle current…
A large magnetoresistance effect is obtained at room-temperature by using p-i-n armchair-graphene-nanoribbon (GNR) heterostructures. The key advantage is the virtual elimination of thermal currents due to the presence of band gaps in the…

Graphene and single-wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) have attracted great attention because of their ultra-high thermal conductivity. However, there are few works exploring the relations of their thermal conductivity quantitatively. The carbon…
Materials and devices used in space and advanced energy systems are continuously exposed to high-energy photons and particles, leading to gradual changes in their structural and electronic properties. Gamma-ray exposure is particularly…
We demonstrate that thermoelectric signal as well as dc Josephson current may be severely enhanced in multi-terminal superconducting hybrid nanostructures exposed to a temperature gradient. At temperatures $T$ strongly exceeding the…

The miniaturization of thermoelectric nanojunctions raises a fundamental question: do the thermoelectric quantities of the bridging materials in nanojunctions remain to display material properties or show junction properties? In order to…
