Effect of dopant nitrogen on the thermoelectric properties of C20 and C60 fullerene in graphene nanoribbon junction

Exploring seebeck-coefficient fluctuations in endohedral-fullerene, single-molecule junctions

“…During recent years, the search for non-toxic and easily processable thermoelectric materials has led several groups to explore the potential of molecular-scale devices for converting waste heat into electricity. 1–41 This is achieved via the Seebeck effect, which converts a temperature difference Δ T into a voltage Δ V = −S Δ T , where the constant of proportionality is the Seebeck coefficient S . Measured values of S are currently too low to create an economically viable technology and therefore there is a need to develop strategies for rapidly assessing the ability of a given molecule to deliver high values of S .…”

Thermal magnetoresistance and spin thermopower in C60 dimers

“…Also, the possibility of applying gate voltage and temperature gradient across the actual molecular junctions to measure the thermoelectric properties has been con rmed in recent experiments [22]. Moreover, the effects of dopant nitrogen on the TE properties of C 60 bridged between graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) have been studied [30]. However, the possibility of generating a thermal spin current in C 60 -based molecular junctions with GNRs have not been investigated.…”
