Thermoelectric Power in Graphene
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent years have witnessed considerable interest devoted to the electronic properties of graphene [1-3]. Graphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb crystal, exhibits unique properties like high thermal conductivity, high electron mobility and optical transparency, and has the potential for use in nano-electronic and optoelectronic devices. With the size of these devices shrinking through integration, thermal management assumes increasingly high priority, prompting the study of thermoelectric effects in graphene systems.

Atomic-scale mapping of thermoelectric power on graphene: role of defects and boundaries.
The spatially resolved thermoelectric power is studied on epitaxial graphene on SiC with direct correspondence to graphene atomic structures by a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) method. A thermovoltage arises from a temperature gradient between the STM tip and the sample, and variations of thermovoltage are distinguished at defects and boundaries with atomic resolution. The epitaxial graphe...

The key challenges in thermoelectric power conversion are creating a significant temperature difference and obtaining more heat energy through a thermoelectric device. Herein, graphene/polyethyleneglycol composites (G-PEGs) were proposed as a heat supply for thermoelectric devices. The G-PEGs not only afford a lot of conductive pathways for heat transfer but also act as highly thermally conduct...

The thermoelectric properties of graphene-based antidot lattices are theoretically investigated. A third nearest-neighbor tight-binding model and a fourth nearest-neighbor force constant model are employed to study the electronic and phononic band structures of graphene antidot lattices with circular, rectangular, hexagonal, and triangular antidot shapes. Ballistic transport models are used to ...
متن کاملEngineering the Thermoelectric Power Factor of Metallic Graphene Nanoribbons
In this work we engineer the thermoelectric (TE) properties of metallic zigzag graphene nanoribbons by the introduction of extended line defects and positively charged substrate impurities. We show that, in such a way, an asymmetry in the transmission of electrons and holes can be created, which allows separation of hot and cold carriers and will provide a very high TE power factor.
