Theory of thermopower in two-dimensional graphene
Motivated by recent experiments by Yuri M. Zuev et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 096807 2009 , Peng Wei et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 166808 2009 , and Joseph G. Checkelsky et al. Phys. Rev. B 80, 081413 R 2009 , we calculate the thermopower of graphene incorporating the energy dependence of various transport scattering times. We find that scattering by screened charged impurities gives a reasonable...
متن کاملTheory of charged impurity scattering in two-dimensional graphene
Wereview thephysics of charged impurities in the vicinity of graphene. The long-range nature of Coulomb impurities affects both the nature of the ground state density profile and graphene’s transport properties. We discuss the screening of a single Coulomb impurity and the ensemble averaged density profile of graphene in the presence of many randomly distributed impurities. Finally, we discuss ...
متن کاملEnhanced thermopower in ZnO two-dimensional electron gas.
Control of dimensionality has proven to be an effective way to manipulate the electronic properties of materials, thereby enabling exotic quantum phenomena, such as superconductivity, quantum Hall effects, and valleytronic effects. Another example is thermoelectricity, which has been theoretically proposed to be favorably controllable by reducing the dimensionality. Here, we verify this proposa...
متن کاملEffective medium theory for disordered two-dimensional graphene
We develop an effective medium theory to study the electrical transport properties of disordered graphene. The theory includes nonlinear screening and exchange-correlation effects allowing us to consider experimentally relevant strengths of the Coulomb interaction. Assuming random Coulomb impurities, we calculate the electrical conductivity as a function of gate voltage describing quantitativel...
متن کاملExcess thermopower and the theory of thermopower waves.
Self-propagating exothermic chemical reactions can generate electrical pulses when guided along a conductive conduit such as a carbon nanotube. However, these thermopower waves are not described by an existing theory to explain the origin of power generation or why its magnitude exceeds the predictions of the Seebeck effect. In this work, we present a quantitative theory that describes the elec...
